There is paid parking in Fairlop Waters; some free parking on a Saturday on the road outside; or you could park nearer the Fairlop Oak where the walk finishes. There is a fair bit of unrestricted parking around the area on a Saturday, and no yellow lines at all just beyond The Fairlop Oak, in and off Fullwell Ave.
Fairlop Underground Station is close by, the 462 bus goes straight to Fairlop Waters, the 247, 167, 150, 169, go to Barkingside roundabout down the road.
If you haven't already paid for May, I ask for a nominal contribution of £2 to help with Meetup organiser fees. No shrapnel please.
