A tribute to a trusty knee. Must be booked in advance. Repeat of walk on 21st August.
Event Type:Group Walk.
Region: Southern England / London
Distance: 10 miles
Start Time: 10:45
Route: Meet at Fenchurch Street Station (main entrance). A compilation of some favourite sections from previous London walks: to include churches, boundary markers, blue plaques, roof tops & of course the odd alley or byway. All to celebrate the imminent retirement of a long serving loyal right knee. An attempt to get lost in our fascinating capital so do not be surprised if the finishing point is not as advertised & the route somewhat confusing. Aiming to finish 17:30 Baker Street Station.
Notes: This will be a slow paced walk with many stops & starts. Lunch in cafe or on park bench. At the time of posting this walk has 2 free spaces. Book early by email to avoid disappointment.
