Greenwich Parks and River Circular, Saturday 15th January 202223 walkers, 17 miles - leader Lonica Vanclay
23 of us set off from Cutty Sark and walked 17 miles through Greenwich Park to Oxleas Wood then on via East Wickham open space and Bostall Wood before heading back through Maryon Park to the Thames Barrier and back along the river.
Lots of chat helped with the inevitable stretches of urban tarmac and housing - but for somewhere so central, there was a surprising amount of green. The mud verdict - not too bad!
Unfortunately the clouds never really lifted so we did not have the pleasure of seeing the views north and south - but there were plenty of trees and an array of modern architecture to admire - and of course the longest continuous Georgian building facade in the UK in the shape of the Royal Artillery Barracks at Woolwich.
