Details

A GREEN WALK through some of North London's open green spaces and waterways including a ZOO, SEVERAL PARKS and GARDENS, SEVERAL LAKES, WETLANDS and a clear STREAM. All this plus socialising afterwards with CHEAP FOOD and DRINKS in a convivial pub atmosphere with friendly people. Come and enjoy the whole experience!!

WALK START: Angel Underground Station (Northern Line).

WALK ROUTE: A green walk along an early stretch of the New River through the often overlooked Clissold Park with its zoo. Then we head through the Woodberry Wetlands an unexpected gem so close to the city. The vast open space of Finsbury Park, Arsenal Football Stadium and Highbury Fields round off this walk

WALK FINISH: Pub close to Highbury and Islington Station.

WALK DISTANCE: Approx 6.5/7 miles.

STOP OUT POINT: Nearby bus routes during some parts of the walk. We also pass Manor House and Finsbury Park Underground Stations

COST of EVENT:
All of the walks on this group are only £5 each to attend. Payment is not collected before the day of the event to allow you maximum flexibility. Why pay more on other groups for overpriced walks with no afterwalk socialising!!
The walk is free for holders of the Ken's Events Membership Card.

Get out, explore and enjoy London's abundant green spaces and surprising surrounding countryside. Give up the city streets for a day and breathe some fresh air. Improve your overall fitness levels. Take this opportunity to visit green parts of London, unknown to most people, and that you would not otherwise have an opportunity to see.

Social Event:
Our walks are social walks, where the emphasis is on meeting new people, enjoying nature, healthy exercise, and fresh air. Our walks are not interrupted with running commentaries or historical lectures, although occasionally features of significance may be pointed out. As such our walks will be continuous with few stops and it is your responsibilty to keep walkers ahead in view and to follow the direction of the walk. WE ALWAYS END THE WALK AT A PUB WHERE THE SOCIALISING CAN CONTINUE.

RISKS for all walks: Please dress appropriately for weather conditions and carry a bottle of water and necessary medication. You need to be moderately fit for this walk and be able to walk for four miles without a break. In these walks we use; pavements, cross busy roads, public parkland, towpaths alongside water, other public paths, rights of way, bridlepaths, country lanes and other established paths and tracks through woodland, bush and countryside. Please only wear good sturdy shoes, preferably walking boots and take care as surfaces may be uneven, tree roots may protrude, there may be low overhanging branches and some paths are also used by joggers and cyclists and sometimes cars (country lanes). Some tracks may be muddy and slippery. On occasion wild,domestic and farm animals may also encountered. If you require insurance for these walks then you must arrange this yourself.

No large dogs or small children please.
