Hatch end to Uxbridge, London loop 14-12, 20km walk.

Please read the following before you RSVP

Event host: Michael

Meeting Point
Hatch End Station at 9:45am and leaving at 10am.
This is a point to point hike and we will not be returning to the start

Description:
The London loop is a 200+ km circular path around London dotted with train stations allowing convenient exploration of London's encapsulating green belt. Section 12 to 14 is one of the nicest parts of the loop (In my opinion the nicest, at least North of the river). We will start in Hatch end and pass through multiple farms, large woods, a golf course and a stretch of the Grand union canal before finishing at Uxbridge station. There will be a stop for lunch at a farm tea shop at about 10km, and a potential pub stop at 15km depending on timing and desire.
The tea shop offers sandwiches, sausage rolls, scones, tea, cake, and ice cream for a fair price. A more substantial meal may be had at the end of the hike in Uxbridge. For those wishing to bring a packed lunch then there is a green space near to the tea shop.

NOTE: A carousel of little cakes may be booked in advance for £10 per person. Anyone wishing to do this, leave a comment or PM Michael by Wednesday night and pay on the day (to the tea shop). For more information search "Mitchell's village kitchen".

Hike Start: 10:00am Hatch End Station
