Sat, May 30 · 11:00 AM BST
Another shorter walk this week because I'm sure many will want to get home to see Arsenal in the cup final. I'm aiming to be at the pub by around 2pm.
We're meeting at Grange Hill Station at 11am (directions below). We will be gone by 11.10am, so please don't be late. We can only wait longer if its due to circumstances genuinely beyond your control.
When we finish at the (optional) Monkhams pub, we are still on the same link-line we started on (we're now at Roding Valley). I'll be hopping two stations back to Grange Hill after the pub.
Woodford & Buckhurst Hill stations are also within walking distance, or by a short bus ride in either direction on the W14.
The W14 will also go beyond those stations in both directions, and the 275 or 167 buses are within easy reach too.
The Meet Point:
If you are coming by bus, the 462 goes to Grange Hill via Ilford Station, Gants Hill Station, Barkingside High St, & Fairlop Station.
The 362 goes from Goodmayes to Grange Hill via Chadwell Heath and The City Pavilion (where it meets the 247 from Romford). Please check times as the 362's are only every 30 minutes
If you're coming on the Central Line, Grange Hill is on the link-line from Woodford to Hainault & vice-versa. Trains are every 20 minutes in either direction. Please note that this line runs independently of the main Epping and Hainault lines, as it bridges between the two of them.
Trains depart from Woodford at 10.15am and 10.35am. From Hainault at 10.10am, 10.30am, 10.50am.
If you haven't already paid for May, I ask for a nominal contribution of £2 to help cover Meetup organiser fees.
