The first three people to sign up for this walk and turn up on the day will get a free GOSH t-shirt 😊 HIKE FACTS Hike distance: Nearly 13km miles/8 km Duration: About 2.5 to 3 hours of walking, plus a lunch stop of approx. 30 minutes Hike grade: 1/10 Hike speed: approx. 2.5/3mph over varied terrain Weather: https://www.bbc.co.uk/weather/6620446 COST Meetup fee: £5 Paypal MEETING AT Station: Hampton Court railway station Meeting point: Outside the station Meeting time: 12.15 pm. We'll leave at 12.25 pm Plan your route: https://tfl.gov.uk/plan-a-journey/ and https://www.thetrainline.com/ (trains leave from Waterloo) WALK DESCRIPTION We’ll be walking through two royal parks next to Hampton Court Palace with the opportunity to spend time at the end of the walk in the palace grounds (note that we won’t be going into the Palace, so if you want to do that, you’ll need to go there earlier. That costs about £25). Hampton Court Park was originally established as a hunting ground for Henry VIII but it has associations with other British monarchs including Charles I and Mary II. The Palace itself was originally built for Cardinal Wolsey, until the poor man fell out with Henry VIII… We’ll take a 30 minute break, about halfway round at the Pheasantry café in Bushy Park. As it's very likely to be busy, if you think you'll want food it might be best to bring your own. We’ve taken this walk from the Saturday Walkers Club website (https://www.walkingclub.org.uk/walk/hampton-court-circular/); it's a great resource for walkers.
