More Walking Free

Subject: Walking Free in Waltham Forest

Dear local walker

 

The programme of walks up to May can now be seen at http://www.walthamforestwalks.info/pilgrims1&2.html  It is a pilgrimage from Stratford Langthorne Abbey to Waltham Abbey in 6 stages, along the eastern edge of the Lea valley, passing the site of a number of medieval manor houses.  As well as exploring the local area, and noting a little history, story-telling will be another theme - but we will not want to hear a tale of any length in the winter weather.

 

The first walk will be on Tuesday 21 January at 11am, repeated on Sunday 2 February at 2.30pm.  Meet at Abbey Road Station on the Docklands Light Railway line from Stratford International towards Canning Town.  If catching the DLR at the main Stratford station you need the platform next to the bus station and the tank engine called Robert.  As you can imagine, the historic landscape is hard to detect around the Westfield shopping centre and I will be guided by the preferences of those who come along as to where and when we finish, but probably somewhere between Stratford City and Drapers Field up to 2 hours later.  There will be plenty of opportunities to leave the walk earlier if you wish.  Firm surfaces; should be suitable for baby buggies and wheelchairs.

 

Hoping to see a number of you soon
