Anna & Jeff's Birthday Walk + (optional) Non-Wetherspoon Birthday Lunch
Details
Its old faithful for mine and Anna's Birthday Walk - Claybury Park (not the muddy forest) and on to Ray Park for a coffee. Then we can get back and have a birthday change of lunch venue in The Unicorn.
Those not wanting to come to the pub can walk the extra bit back to Barkingside after we veer off slightly earlier, or come with us and jump on a bus outside the pub. The 128 goes to Barkingside, Gants Hill, Ilford, Dagenham, Romford.
Those of us going to the pub can walk the 0.9 miles back to the cars, or jump on the 128 bus.
We're meeting in the Fairlop Oak at 11am for a pre-walk coffee. I would suggest arriving a little earlier if you want to chill, chat, maybe breakfast
The walk will go through Claybury Forest, and various other green areas to Woodford. We'll vary the route back to the end of the walk.
For those coming by train, its Fairlop station and turn right to the roundabout where the car park sits. Its also served by seven bus routes - 128, 150, 167, 169, 247, 275, 462.
For those driving, there is a lot of free parking a stone's throw from the pub - along Fullwell Ave and it's side roads.
