Easter Walk - North Greenwich with Thames Barriers
Details
Join me for a beautiful and relaxed walk along the Thames path in North Greenwich through the Woolwich foottunel to Royal Docks. This is a 7 mile walk with a number off interesting stops on the way.
The meeting point is North Greenwich station. Please exit towards the O2 and look around for me at arrival by the entrance.
From there, we will first explore some of the artwork around North Greenwich and than have a first stop at the Ecology Park. It promises interesting wildlife and surroundings.
We will continue the walk to the Thames barriers visiting centre where we can see and hear how the Barriers are functioning. Tickets cost £6 but I think it will be worth it.
From there we will make our way to the Woolwich foottunnel. We will go through the tunnel and than make our way through Silvertown into the Thames Barrier park. The park provides amazing views of the Thames Barriers and it is a brilliant photo spot.
We will than make our way to a foot bridged that gives us a view of City Airport. We will take in the views and perhaps watch some planes taking off.
The last stop then is the Oilerbar where we will end the walk with a drink.
As always, we will walk slowly but there are several stairs involved and you have to be fit enough to attend therefore.
The event is free (unless you decide to visit the Thames Barrier centre) but the usual £1.50 will apply and is not refundable. Meet-up will also charge you about £0.60 on top of that.
As usual, you are attending at your own risk.
Please only RSVP if you are intending to attend and remember to change your RSVP no more than 2 days before an event should you find you can no longer make it. Late cancellations and no-shows may get you removed from the group.
