Surrey Walking Club

The next club race is to be arranged and the next club stroll is on Saturday 22nd December with Helen Franklin as conductor

Welcome to the Surrey Walking Club. The Club was originally formed in 1899 as a race walking club. We are still involved in race walking but we now promote a range of walking related activities including ultra distance walking and we have our own successful long distance social walking section known as the Strollers.

To be arranged

Saturday 22^nd December. Beckenham to Greenwich (linear). Conductor: Helen Franklin. Start Beckenham Junction Station 09:19 (08:32 London Bridge or 08:58 London Victoria).

Route description: This walk will largely follow sections of the Green Chain Walk from Beckenham to Woolwich, which is greener and more pleasant than one imagines for suburban London. At the Thames Barrier, we will pick up the Thames Path for an easy jaunt to Greenwich.

The walk will include a decent tea/coffee break at Oxleas Wood Café (approx. half way) which offers hot snacks/drinks and has stunning views over the surrounding area. We will then make our way to The Gate Clock pub (Wetherspoon) in the heart of Greenwich for a drink and/or meal. A chance for us to have a Christmas get together!

Explorer 162. Distance approx. 18 miles.
