Walk Report

Park Perambulation, Wednesday 23rd September 2015
5 walkers, 9 miles - leader Jerome Ripp
A group of 5 enjoyed a circumnavigation of Richmond Park on a fine early autumn evening. A good pace was maintained and the 9 miles covered in just under 3 hours. From the Kingston gate we walked anticlockwise via Robin Hood Gate, Beverley Brook, Roehampton Gate and a detour, thanks to Chris to see the relatively hidden Two Storm Wood. Views steadily opened up of the London Skyline with the Eye, Shard and later the highlight of St. Paul's Cathedral seen through the new Wren Gate of The Way. A tour through the quiet private garden of Pembroke Lodge and return via Richmond and Ham Gates.
