Meeting point is Mile End Station. Try to get there 10-15 minutes before the start of the Hike.

Opportunity to make new friends and meet new people.
Only do this type of Canal Walk challenge once or twice per year.

This is by far the longest and the best Canal Hike I have ever planned for a one day event. Not to be missed. Probably The Best Walk in London Ever and the Most challenging ever Attempted. This walk will take us from the canals of East London to a Place outside London. The return train journey is only £4 on Oyster Card.

I am planning to finish this canal Hike at Broxbourne Station but you can feel free to drop out if your legs can't carry you any further along the canal. There are drop out points for train stations along the canal. So you can drop out half way or before the end if you feel tired.

And it's probably the best Canal walk I have planned so far this year. Not to be missed.

Walking from East London Mile End Station to North London and then beyond London.

The meeting point where we will start the event from will be near mile end station in East London.

Medium paced walk at 2 miles per hour. Will take us approximately 10 hours to complete this walk. Start at 9:30 am from the meeting point in East London and finishes around 8 pm near the town of Brouxbourne which is slightly outside London.
