Green Linear Walk - Epping to Ongar + (optional) Pub

Thanks to Bren for volunteering to co-host with me and lead this walk once again.

We're meeting outside Epping Station at 11am, and leaving fairly promptly. We'll be heading up the greenery of The Essex Way to the lovely Toot Hill, where we stop for our break. Then we'll finish the walk to Ongar, and some (optional) well deserved food and/or drink at a yet to be determined pub.

We're on a 420 bus back to Epping Station. Oyster cards not accepted as its not TFL, but freedom passes are. Otherwise its just three quid fare.

For those who have not already paid for August, I ask for a nominal contribution of £2 to help cover Meetup organiser fees. No shrapnel please.
