Walk the (Circle) Line (23 miles, Circular)
**Please RSVP at [our website](https://surreyyoungwalkers.org.uk/walk-detail.php?id=2214) (green button) and not here, thanks!** Let's walk the Circle Line! Meeting outside Waterloo station (at Paddington London Mural ), we'll go together to our start point of Westminster tube station and from there visit (and photograph!) every stop on the original (circular) Circle Line. This is a great way to take in the sights of central London whilst also providing those training for the Jurassic Coast Mighty Hike a chance to get lots of (admittedly flat) miles in! Please note the distance and terrain (tarmac) and plan your footwear accordingly. There is of course an easy option to hop on the tube back for those who prefer a shorter walk :) We'll have a cafe/pub stop in the morning and afternoon but please bring a picnic lunch. We've provided an automated estimate of the end time and this will be affected by many factors - please only use as a guide. The description above may also have specific notes on ending details.

For everyone else, consider this your introduction. We've taken the recipes closest to home and let them travel — picking up new textures, new techniques, new companions along the way — without ever losing sight of where they came from. The result is a menu that feels at once deeply familiar and quietly surprising. Your cup will never be empty. Expect bottomless chai and coffee flowing through the evening — hot, cold, and always with a twist you won't see coming. Come hungry, come curious — because **Chai O’Clock** is more than a supper club. It's a table where memories brew, laughter streams, and every flavour feels like home. **The Menu** Bottomless Masala Chai & Coffee — hot, cold and unexpected * **Gujarati Grazing Board** — a selection of classic Gujarati snacks to set the tone * **Handvo Galette** — a savoury cake of mixed vegetables and lentil-spiced flour, reimagined as a galette * **Chilli Muthiya** — steamed and pan-tossed Gujarati dumplings made with spiced flour and fresh greens * **Dabeli Pastry** — the beloved spiced potato street snack of Kutchh, dressed up in a flaky layer * **Omakase** — chef's choice * **Palak Dal Dhokli** — silky lentil broth with hand-rolled wheat pasta, spinach, and all the sides * **Mango Pudding** — a sweet three layered, cool finish *Fully plant-based, intimate gathering of 10 people, BYOB if you wish.*

In Person Event: The Secrets to Mental Health
In Person Event: The Secrets to Mental Health
Mental Health, how do you understand it? How can you improve it? How do you get rid of stress, anxiety and uncertainty? These emotions are buried deep in your reactive mind. Find out what the reactive mind is, and in the process find yourself. Have you ever suffered from a traumatic experience, a deep loss or been through a painful breakup? Has your ability to communicate suffered as a result? And after that, even though you "moved on" did you find that things were never quite the same? Have you ever looked at childhood photos, or reminisced your early life and wondered where that happiness and spark went? Are your emotions out of your own control? Have you ever felt, even if you aren’t aware of it, that possibly you are getting in your own way of your happiness and success? How does this affect your self-confidence? Find out what is at the root of all stress, anxiety, depression and self-doubt. Find out how and why you hold yourself back from achieving your goals and having the life you have dreamed of. As soon as you learn what is at the root of these unwanted conditions, you’ll see it is something you can DO something about. You will not be labeled or categorized at this MeetUp. This group is hosted by the Dianetics and Scientology Life Improvement Center of Central Ohio.
