Why not come and join us for a walk on the 4th Tuesday of each month for health, friendship and mental wellbeing.  We are a friendly group who enjoy walking approximately 4 to 5 miles in various locations.  It could be a pavement walk in London, or along a canal tow path, on the Thames Path or locally and usually ending in a pub lunch. Anywhere we can get to using our Freedom Passes.

A pleasant walk to Avery Hill Park – Tuesday 28 July

A very small group of us met up in Station Road, Sidcup before heading off on a very sunny and warm day to Avery Hill Park. We walked into Lamorbey Park (The Glades) where we were briefly shaded by the trees. We took the first exit into Burnt Oak Lane and continued along and turned left into Marlborough Park following the River Shuttle. We kept to the right where there was some shade from the trees. At the end we crossed over into Willersley Park
where as a child I got many a ‘booty’ playing in the river!! There was not much shade here but we were helped by a slight breeze. After another water break we crossed over the busy Willersley Avenue into Haddon Grove and then Holly Oak Park. Thankfully we were shaded
by the trees in the wooded area. We then crossed over Days Lane and into Berwick Crescent with the river flowing on our left. Bearing right at the end, we passed Our Lady of the Rosary Catholic Primary School and onto Parish Park. We took a moment to take in the
‘wetland area’. Unfortunately the weather had caused it to dry up considerably. We followed the path until we came to Restons Crescent and crossed on to Anstridge Path which we continued along after crossing Alderwood Road. We then crossed the busy Avery Hill Road and entered Avery Hill Park. It was becoming very warm now, but the intrepid group continued on to the Avery Hill Park Café for a well-deserved sit down and some lunch.
