A quick update on walking dates....
The annual London Walk
The postponed walk back to in March is re-arranged for Saturday 16th May.
The route will be the same as originally planned, and we'll meet either
at St Albans City station to catch the train (there's a discount on
multiple purchases) or at Hammersmith station (start of the walk) -
which ever suits you best. It's about 9 miles and flat, easy walking
following the Thames for a stretch then Richmond Park and Wimbledon
Common. Everyone welcome, let me know if you're interested. This walk
will be pretty much all day including the travelling.
Chiltern hills practise walk
This will be a fairly short but intense walk close to Ivinghoe/Pitstone on Sunday 31st May.
I have to finalise the route and time/place to meet, but the plan is to
meet early afternoon and walk for about 2 to 2.5 hours. We'll have
several short but steep climbs which will be good practise for Ben
Nevis. Everyone welcome though of course, not just if you're coming to
Scotland.
Ben Nevis
We're now all booked up for the Ben Nevis trip Friday 26th to 28th.
We'll be leaving early on the Friday morning and will arrive in Glasgow
to collect our hire car. From there we'll have a 2 hour journey to Fort
William. With a bit of luck we'll be at our accommodation by lunchtime!
The return flight is about 5.30 in the afternoon on Sunday. We'll have a
couple of hours in Fort William Sunday morning before we need to drive
back to Glasgow. Remember to book Friday off work and I'd recommend
Monday too if you can!
