Mile End - Semi-Circular Green Walk to Hackney + (optional) Pub
Details
This walk goes south initially, then loops around the Regents Canal to The Hertford Canal. We'll divert through the lovely Victoria Park, go back onto the canal further down, and then off through London Fields to Hackney. Its about a seven mile walk, we'll have a coffee somewhere pleasant on the way, and finish at the Wetherspoon for some well deserved food and/or drink.
I plan to be at the pub around 3-3.30pm. We can get a train back to Stratford afterwards, or to anywhere else you need to get to. The station is just a short walk from the pub, for those not wanting to come in.
We're meeting outside Mile End station at 11am, where we'll be moving off fairly promptly.
If you haven't already paid for January, I ask for a nominal contribution of £2 to help cover Meetup organiser fees. £1 and £2 coins only please - if you do bring silver, you will be asked to go off and change it.
