1st Walk of 2010: Soho to Trafalgar Square + Meal + FREE movie: The Hurt Locker

This location is shown only to members

For this walk we'll meet in the square just behind Nero's coffee bar which is opposite Habitat on Tottenham Court Road; turn left out of Goodge Street station, walk a few yards and you'll see it on your left.

The walk is about 2.5 miles long and should take 1.5-2 hours.

If we're making good time, we'll stop off at a pub en-route. We will end the walk at a pub for some food and socialising before heading to watch a free screening of the movie 'The Hurt Locker' (Radio Times review below):


The Hurt Locker
(2008)
4 stars 15
Point Break director Kathryn Bigelow's 2004-set account of the lives of a US Army bomb-disposal squad in Iraq focuses on the men who voluntarily put themselves next to deadly IEDs (improvised explosive devices), as well as re-creating the terrifying, chaotic Baghdad in which they work. Covering the last 38 days the squad has left in Iraq, the film follows the contrasting attitude and philosophies of a trio of soldiers, including the risk-taking Staff Sgt William James (Jeremy Renner), all of whom are aware that every job they do is potentially their last. Bigelow, one of the very few women working in the traditionally male-dominated action and war genres, avoids both red wire/yellow wire cliché and political preaching to deliver a film that is as psychologically fascinating as it is taut and exciting. Ralph Fiennes and Guy Pearce are among the well-known faces in smaller roles.
