Walk Report

Some Mud, No Doubt!
6 walkers, 17.2 miles. Leader Lonica Vanclay
Six stalwarts shrugged off the remnants of Storm Eunice and the predictions of strong wind and rain and set off in cheerful spirits for the planned walk. No need to vary the plan either as the weather wasn't bad and even the mud in Epping Forest wasn't as bad as we have seen on walks in February. It stayed grey for the whole 17.2 miles though, which meant the views from our 83-metre high hill were almost non-existent. Lunch in Waltham Abbey followed by an increase in pace as we stepped it out on the tarmac paths through Lee Valley Country Park taking in some of the wooden sculptures and several of the reservoirs then down the canal to catch the train at Enfield Lock.
