Have you ever wanted to be immersed within either the city or nature in the form of a walk and socialise at the same time? If so, this may be the right walk for you. Welcome to another one of the FREE WALK events where you have the opportunity to explore all the scenic routes I’ll execute whether there’s nature within, whether we get immersed within the city and feel great about yourself.   With this particular walk, we will be walking down the river from Blackfriars to Battersea Power station. As we go along the river, we should see remnants of what makes the skyline, Tate modern, The house of Parliament and any other scenic views on the way. A transition from East Central to South West. After this, we may do an aftermath if you wish and let democracy decide. My fellow explorers, if you enjoyed the event, I’m more than happy to accept any donations which of course are optional but will go a long way to help me unlock and deliver even more exciting and engaging events and resources: https://www.paypal.me/calvinjoy   Starting point: Blackfriars Ending point: Battersea Power Station Walking length: 3 miles Duration: 1 hour + Required clothing: Smart casual, comfortable shoes and a jacket in case it gets cold Departure: 20 minutes after the meeting time.   WHAT - Walk down the River Thames WHERE - Blackfriars to Battersea Power station WHEN - 6:30pm - 8:30pm MEETING POINT - Outside Blackfriars Station near the Temperance Fountain NEAREST STATION - Blackfriars station REQUIREMENTS - Just your good behaviour is all and whatever is listed above for the walk.   Disclaimers: Please be on your best behaviour and respect one another. This group doesn’t tolerate any misbehaviour and misconduct. Should such a thing take place, you will be removed. If you ask a question that either already has the answer to it or doesn’t relate to the event at all, I won’t respond. Whenever an event takes place, I will cut off contact 20 minutes after the event commences. If you message even 1 minute after the cut off time, I won’t be available as I’m conducting the event. There will be photography and videography by myself so if you are photo conscious and/or do not want to be in the video, do kindly inform me and I’ll try my utmost best to not involve you in the picture.

Cockfosters, then, literally means the home of the chief or head forester. The modernist Tube station, part of the northern extension to the Piccadilly lined, was designed by Charles Holden and opened in 1933, is a key landmark as is the stately, Grade II-listed property [Trent Park](http://www.trentcountrypark.com/) which is located on a remnant of Enfield Chase. Trent Park dates back to the fourteenth century when it was a part of Enfield Chase, one of Henry IV’s hunting grounds. In 1777 George III leased the site to Sir Richard Jebb, his favourite doctor, as a reward for saving the life of the King’s younger brother, the then Duke of Gloucester. Jebb chose the name Trent, because it was in Trent, Italy, that the King’s brother had been saved.

TREK THE GTE - THE GRAND TRAVERSE OF ELBA - ITALY

Sat, Sep 19, 5:00 PM

**Elba is the biggest island on the Tuscan Archipelago, a place where the Italians holiday and the GTE trail crosses the island from coast to coast linking the mountain ridgelines on the island's spine.** This cluster of 7 islands will surely become a prime destination for international tourism very soon but so far it survives as a lesser visited gem whilst the nearby Cinque Terre hogs the limelight. Backabush is planning an adventurous thru-hike completing the GTE trail in full, from coast to coast on foot in 3 hiking days. This is a tough route that takes in the island's highest summits following a trail with ocean views out to Corsica and the Tuscan hills. On this trip we will also need to pack light and carry our luggage with us 'hut-to-hut' style as there is no luggage transfer service yet on the island. **ITINERARY** Saturday 19 - We will meet in the port town of Piombino, a 90 minute train ride from Pisa, ready to catch the ferry to Elba the next day. Guesthouse accommodation in twin and triple rooms. Breakfast included. Sunday 20 - Day 1 on the GTE. Cavo to Porto Azzurro - 23km 900m ascent. We catch the 8.40 ferry Cavo and hike up to a striking ridge before following the winding trail down to Porto Azzurro. Hotel accommodation in Twin rooms, breakfast included. Monday 21 - Day 2 on the GTE. Porto Azzurro to Procchio - 20km 750m ascent. A day with many peaks crossing the central hills of the island with frequent sea views. Hotel accommodation in twin rooms, breakfast included. Tuesday 22 - Day 3 on the GTE. Procchio to Pomonte - 16kms, 900m ascent, 950m descent. Today we cross the highest peaks on the island, then it's downhill for a celebratory swim. Hotel accommodation in twin rooms, breakfast included. Wednesday 23 - Home time, we will catch a bus back to the ferry terminal for the 11am crossing and then it's back to the airport or on to another adventure. Pisa is reachable on the train by 17.30pm so evening flights can be booked for 19.30 departures or later. **DIFFICULTY** This trip has 3 long days of hiking, 20 kms/12 miles or more each day and considerable up and down so a good level of hiking fitness is required. There will be some minor exposure encountered on our rocky ridgeline trails with occasional use of some fixed cables on steeper sections so some surefootedness will also be required. **WHAT'S INCLUDED** * A 3 day itinerary of guided hikes led by qualified Mountain Leader and certified first aider * 4 nights guesthouse or hotel accommodation in twin or triple rooms * 4 breakfasts * Return ferry tickets to the island of Elba * Financial protection in line with the Package Travel Regulations 2018 **WHAT'S NOT INCLUDED** * Flights to Italy * Trains to Piombino * Local bus transfers on our final day * Lunches and evening meals - We will be eating out at local restaurants and picking up lunch supplies from the shops each day. **HOW TO GET THERE** There are many flights from the UK Pisa everyday. The last trains run to Piombino from central Pisa at around 17.00 so please plan to land in Pisa at around 15.00 at the lastest to allow time to reach the station. Trains can be booked in advance on Trainline or at the station in Pisa. Return - We will aim to catch a late morning ferry and stop for lunch afterwards. The next train back to Pisa Airport is at 15.31 arriving at 17.08. I would recommend booking a flight home departing any time from around 19.30 to allow for some delays. **HOW TO BOOK A PLACE ON THE TRIP** The trip cost is £499. To confirm your place payment in full is required. Please send all payments through online banking, using **ELBA** as the payment reference. **Your RSVP is not enough to reserve a space.** The account details are: Account Name: BACKABUSH XPLORERS Sort Code: 090127 Account Number: 22440622 The following "terms and conditions" apply to all trip reservations: [https://docs.google.com/document/d/1ngc5A61k76qb6HGMeTK96AVaXn0565yPS9p42IPzIy8/](https://docs.google.com/document/d/1ngc5A61k76qb6HGMeTK96AVaXn0565yPS9p42IPzIy8/edit?usp=sharing) Please email [nathancapay@googlemail.com](mailto:nathancapay@googlemail.com) when you send payment so that we can confirm everything with you. **IMPORTANT NOTE:** We consider safety to be our number one priority and while we never take unnecessary risks, we do recognise that any outdoor activity involves a danger of personal injury or death.
