Bird Watching

***Note***: As the sunset is still early, we are starting at 6pm for now. The earlier we get there the more time we get! Ultimate Frisbee Pickup! All experience welcome! Main details: • For first-timers: you're very welcome, no experience necessary, we can teach you the rules and how to play. You just need a willingness to run around a LOT! Bring trainers (or cleats/football boots) and clothes you can run in and plenty of water • Please try to bring both a light top and a dark top as this makes splitting into balanced teams easier • Throwing from 6:00pm, we'll kick off a friendly pick-up game as soon as we get numbers. It's fine if you can only make it later on - we play with substitutes so you can join in at any point. If no one is there when you arrive, don't worry, people are probably just late! If the meetup is not cancelled, frisbee will be happening! • Afterwards we always head to a pub garden and have a drink or two :) • Frisbee is a non-contact sport, but the occasional bumps can happen, we're all playing at our own risk

You can expect a friendly introduction to the sport, but in all honesty you will dive in at the deep end to learn UWR. Please bring swimwear and an open mind and expectation to have fun. We can lend an UWR hat, snorkle, mask and fins. Although if you have them already it is better to bring your own. Expect to swim, dive to 4m depth, hold your breath longer than you thought you could, be involved in drills and games.

Join OutdoorLads popular weekly Thursday Bouldering evening at The Arch in Bermondsey. OutdoorLads London boulderers welcome all members of the LGBTQ+ community You'll be meeting with a supportive group of 5 to 10 plus boulderers who are always happy to introduce complete beginners or solve difficult bouldering problems with enthusiasts. We usually follow up with a pub visit. This event is for members of all levels of experience and all are welcome to come along to any of the sessions. Bouldering is a form of climbing where instead of long high routes, the 'problems', as they are referred to, tend to be shorter and focus on technique, balance, body positioning and sometimes power. Because of this different emphasis, bouldering doesn't have the hassle of climbing with ropes, harnesses and belaying, which makes the activities excellent for newcomers to the sport. If you're a seasoned climber you won't need convincing about the benefits of bouldering, but for those who've never climbed more than a staircase, the benefits are wide ranging: from the physical - improved strength, tone, balance, power and coordination; mental - problem solving, focus, concentration and body awareness; to the emotional - relaxation, a sense of achievement and a feeling that mind and body are working together perfectly ('feeling psyched'). On top of all this, bouldering tends to be a very social sport where you can hang out with mates and each have a go as you feel regardless of what level you climb at.

IT Is BLUEBELLS TIIIIIIME! Let's go to the Chiltern Hill and see one of the most stunning wild bluebell carpets in the country. This is going to be one of the 2 days of bluebells trips this year!

Let's sketch around The Tower of London! Meet outside the Sundial at Tower Hill. Nice views of the Tower and Tower Bridge. A castle commissioned by William the Conqueror as a way to show the Anglos who was Le Chef. Nearest Stops: Tower Hill/Fenchurch Street Completely free of charge, no need to sign up, bring a friend! Feel free to drop in for the whole two hours or just short while if you'd prefer. Look for the tall ginger fella sketching away as the central meetup spot, but feel free to roam as far and wide as you like and sketch anything you damn well please! Please bring your own sketchbooks and pens/pencils. The plan will be to meet at 1pm, sketch for a couple of hours and meet back and chat at 3pm. Hopefully the weather will be good so we'll be able to sit outside but if not we could consider ducking into a cafe. \-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\- About Sketchbook London Every week we will choose a location around the magnificent city of London and draw people, buildings, pigeons, bins, anything you want.... No payment, no pressure, no need to sign up, just show up and draw for a couple of hours. All levels, abilities and professions welcome, bring a friend! Zero pressure to interact, network, impress in any way, this is just a way to get out and about and appreciate the joy of urban sketching and all the weird and wonderful creatures that inhabit this thriving metropolis. I am a storyboard artist working in animation and I am happy to discuss sketching techniques or give feedback on any work but this is by no means an exclusive event for artists, all are welcome :)

*"If you enter a copse in spring the eye is delighted with cowslips on the banks where the sunlight comes, with blue-bells."* Richard Jefferies *Nature Near London* Exploring bluebell-filled woods, then paths untrodden by these walks before, ending at the ancient woodland oasis of Petts Wood, harbouring oak, birch, alder, ash, hornbeam and sweet chestnut. William Willett was so inspired by what he saw that he dreamt up Daylight Saving Time so he might see more. Look for the sundial. Nearby is a purveyor of Belgian expertise to accompany an all day grill 😊. Truly nature near London!

It is not organized by a business nor any entity with commercial purposes. Any trip details, travel advice, route planning, instructions and other content in our group merely represent our shared personal knowledge, research and suggestions as outdoor enthusiasts. As this is no business, there is no "product", "service" or "package" and also no "tour guide", "operator" or "walk leader". Each participant is responsible for their own safety. Even if some of us are very experienced walking outdoors, nobody assumes responsibility for any kind of injury, damage or loss that may happen. By participating you acknowledge and agree with this disclaimer. Here are our tips on staying safe during outdoor trips: http://www.meetup.com/Free-Outdoor-Trips-From-London/about/ TRAVEL, ACCOMMODATION, INSURANCE Although we provide detailed suggestions, each participant is expected to arrange their own travel - this gives everyone the freedom and choice. Anyone interested in travel or outdoor insurance should also arrange this on their own. As mentioned above we always take extreme precautions, but some people may still feel safer if covered. As most of our trips are confirmed or postponed very close to the event date - heavily depending on the weather forecasts - we advise not to buy this until the last minute. People getting tickets from the same station are encouraged to meet early on the day to benefit from discounts such as GroupSave.

This is part of my series of leisurely London walks aimed at exploring and getting to know the city better. They are easy, largely flat and shorter in length than my countryside hikes. As we leave Mile End tube station, we enter **Mile End Park**, created on land devastated by bombing during World War II. It is a 90-acre linear park that runs along the edge of Regent’s Canal. Walk along **Regent’s Canal** taking in the sights. We eventually reach **Limehouse Basin**, a quiet location sprinkled with residential accommodation and boats - the River Thames, Regent’s Canal, and Limehouse Cut all meet here, each providing a green highway along which wildlife can move around the built-up area. As we follow the **Thames Path** in the **Isle of Dogs**, have your camera ready for stunning views of the waterfront and the **city’s skyline** (the Shard, Walkie Talkie, etc). Also soak in the views of the glass skyscrapers of **Canary Wharf**. We will continue along to the **Greenwich Foot Tunnel**. The tunnel sits 15 metres beneath the River Thames and is 370 metres long. It was opened in 1902 and connects Island Gardens in Tower Hamlets in the north to Greenwich in the south. On exiting the tunnel in Greenwich, we immediately come across the **Cutty Sark**, the state-of-the-art Victorian tea clipper. It was built in 1869 and designed to carry tea from China to England as fast as possible. A fashion developed among Victorians for consuming the first tea to be unloaded in London – this spurred the ‘great tea races’ and intense competition to get home first where you could command huge prices. The Cutty Sark was designed to be fast! Explore the grounds of the **Old Royal Navy College** – a cultural destination in the heart of the **Maritime Greenwich UNESCO World Heritage Site**. It is an award-winning visitor attraction and one of the UKs most sought-after film locations due to the iconic architecture of its 18th century buildings, expansive grounds and views of London. It has appeared in Netflix’s Bridgerton and blockbusters such as Pirates of the Caribbean, Thor II, and Skyfall, among many others. The Painted Hall here is the jewel, known as Britain’s Sistine Chapel (we will not be entering it as there’s a fee). You could also spend time in St Peter and St Paul Chapel (we may visit the Chapel if it's open). We end up at **Greenwich market** with its arts and crafts and food stalls. Once the walk ends around here, feel free to explore Greenwich further on your own! **Cost:** Free **Start time:** 10:00am **Start location:** Mile End tube station - I’ll be waiting on the pavement at the exit (main road A11). My mobile: 07951673142 **End location:** Cutty Sark for Maritime Greenwich DLR station / Greenwich market (they are 2 min apart by foot) **Length:** 8km **Ascent:** largely flat **Time:** approx 3hrs - exact end time depends on the weather, pace of the group, and our breaks. **Pace & Difficulty:** an easy, relaxed, and leisurely pace. The aim is to enjoy being outdoors and have a fun, friendly walk. It is suitable for beginners. **Transport:** Mile End tube station (Central, District, and Hammersmith and City lines). Check the status of the tube before travel. Cutty Sark for Maritime Greenwich is a DLR station in Greenwich. **What to bring:** Check the weather and bring appropriate gear. Walkways and trails can be muddy and slippery. A comfortable backpack, waterproof jacket, sufficient food, snacks, and water along with suitable socks and footwear (sturdy shoes with good grip/waterproof hiking boots) are some essentials. Remember to carry any medication you may require. If it’s sunny, don’t forget a hat, sunglasses and sunscreen! **IMPORTANT DISCLAIMER / TERMS AND CONDITIONS:** **By participating, you confirm you have read, understood and accepted the below, including the full** **[Terms and Conditions](https://docs.google.com/document/d/1XZWpVX-8U98Syt2MPGZCX_wYS2jDrCTh/edit?usp=sharing&ouid=101093099300290936197&rtpof=true&sd=true)** **I am NOT a qualified hike leader or first aider.** Hiking, walking, and hill walking carry the risk of personal injury and death.
