Capital Ring Part 10 - South Kenton to Hendon Central

This is one of the longer sections of the Capital Ring, often described as one of the more rural sections - it sometimes does not feel like London at all... It really has a bit of everything, from residential streets, to country parks, hills, and long stretches of water.
Starting from The Windermere pub next to South Kenton station (Bakerloo line), we will walk through Preston Park, Fryant Country Park and up to Barn Hill, past Gotsfords Hill, along the Welsh Harp reservoir and finish at Hendon Central station (Northern line).
We will be walking for approximately three and a half hours with a couple of breaks in between, note that there are some moderately hilly sections on this walk. It can get muddy so bring suitable footwear and clothing if it looks like it has been raining.
This one benefits from being walked in good weather, so I'll keep a watch on the forecast and will cancel the event a day or two before if the weather is looking like rain. Keep an eye on the event chat which I'll update a day or two before to confirm we are going ahead.
We will meet just outside The Windermere pub next to South Kenton station for 1pm. Unless there is a transport issue affecting everyone, we will aim to start off on the walk at 1:10pm. I will add my location tracking on Glympse so if you are late, we will not wait but you will be able to catch us up.
After the walk I am planning on heading to a Lebanese restaurant, The Soor Lounge, right next to Hendon Central station - please see the link below to see the menu

If you are interested in coming along to the restaurant, please mention in the comments and if there are a number of us I can book a table. I'm estimating we would reach the restaurant at approximately 4.30pm.
