Sunday 22nd March 2020 circular walk via Hayes Common

Coronavirus COVID19 walk week 2.

We will meet at Hayes train station at 11.15 to do a circular walk via Hayes Common,  Kestin ponds to Leaves Green where we will eat our lunch before visiting the pub. There are buses from here to Bromley south train station. We will return to Hayes via Nash. The length of the walk is approximately 8 miles. We did this walk previously on 15/09/2019 . See https://redropelondon.wordpress.com/2019/10/01/15th-sept-2019-hayes-kent-circular/  There is one large field which is likely to be hard going.

Woodie will probably not be coming as he has some arthritis. The café that we stopped at before has now closed. Bring packed lunch as usual.

In view of the corona virus we need to practice social distancing on the walk and on the journey to and from the walk.

Sunday 15th March Bexley station to Petts Wood station

Coronavirus COVID19 walk week 1.

This walk is part 2 of the London Loop, a very pleasant green section that goes mostly through parkland and woods. It’s 7 miles from Bexley station to Petts Wood station. But if you don’t want to walk that far you can drop out at Sidcup which is about halfway. Not hilly, easy walking but parts likely to be muddy, as just about everywhere is presently.

A walk through Greenwich Park, with a stop off at the recently refurbished Queens
