Bank Holiday Spring Walk, Virginia Water Cascades to Windsor Castle Staying in London this Bank Holiday? Let’s escape the city together. Join us for a beautiful spring countryside walk from Virginia Water Lake and finishing near Windsor Castle. Many of our members attend our trips solo, however feel free to invite your friends and family. Expect: • Waterfalls, Deer Park & woodland • Blossoms & lakeside paths • Relaxed social pace • Ice cream, Café or pub stop in Windsor • Most attendees come solo This is a scenic 7–8 mile walk at a comfortable pace. Come alone. Walk together. Finish with castle views. Limited spaces to keep the group manageable. Walk. Bloom. Connect. Perfect for: • Solo socialisers • Nature lovers • People staying in London for the bank holiday • Those wanting fresh air without going abroad Check photos of our past visit, it was a lovely trip which was enjoyed by us all https://www.meetup.com/Passionate-about-Travelling-Food-and-Events/photos/31438998/#496630274 Towards the north of the park, on a rise, is the copper horse statue. From there, the 4km Long Walk, an iconic tree lined path, slopes downhill to Windsor Castle, besides the Thames. Virginia Water Lake was originally little more than a stream. During World War II, the lake was drained, as its obvious shape provided enemy guidance at night to Windsor and other important military targets in the area. It has been used by the crews for the Harry Potter films for lakeside scenes. The Cascade, or Waterfall, is also notable. It was constructed from stones brought from Bagshot Heath. They are rumoured to be the remains from a Saxon settlement. From the Cascade a stream runs through a glen and ultimately enters the Thames at Chertsey. By the side of the Cascade, immense stones are arranged to form a cavern known as 'The Robber's Cave'. **Walk description** Distance: 7 - 8 miles Grading: Easy no steep hills, flat path all the way Rating: 2 out of 10 Ascent: 189m Walk time: About 4.5 to 6.5 hours of actual walk/stroll, depending how fast we walk and how many of us. On my first trip during Covid there were 30 of us, it took 6 hours to arrive to Windsor due to the size and lack of exercise as a result of being cooped up at home for way too long, we had a few breaks along the way while others caught up with us. Recently with a smaller group of 15 to 20 it took us 4 hours. There will be 2 or 3 10 to 15 minutes break during our walk, as well as a 30 minutes lunch break where we can have a picnic on the grass. On our arrival to Winsor, you can opt to break up into small groups, a chance for some to visit the castle, this will cost extra to enter, there is a shopping centre, and several eateries joints, or some may wish to walk along the River Thames path etc. This will be the 5th time i have organised this walk and we always end up at Lebanese Night which i discovered on my first visit. A restaurant severing delicious halal food and the price is quite reasonable too, check out website for details and menu [Lebanese Nights Windsor, Berkshire SL4 1PR - Menu, Reviews (94), Photos (20) - Restaurantji](https://www.restaurantji.co.uk/berkshire/windsor/lebanese-nights-/) So on arrival in Windsor after exploring you will find a few of us here address 41 Thames St, Windsor **MEETING POINT** We will meet at Clapham Junction Train station at 9 am outside Marks and Spencer. We will leave the meeting point at 9:10am for the 09:19 am train. Planned arrival time back into London of 7:00pm (we have a group train ticket and you are committed for the day until then). Please note that this train ticket will allow you to leave from Windsor to London from Windsor and Eton riverside train station. **FOOD** We will stop during the hike for a snack lunch so please bring food and drink. We will visit a pub after the hike where we can get refreshments. **Price £30 non refunded unless cancelled, minus PayPal fees** **PLEASE RSVP ONLY ONCE YOU HAVE MADE PAYMENT, IF YOU RSVP WITHOUT MAKING PAYMENT YOUR RSVP WILL CHANGE TO NOT GOING.** **PLEASE PAY VIA LINK AT GET A SOCIAL LIFE MEETUP BELOW** [A Lovely Bank Holiday Spring Walk Virginia Water Cascades → Windsor Castle, Sun, May 24, 2026, 9:00 AM | Meetup](https://www.meetup.com/passionate-about-travelling-food-and-events/events/313409274/?eventOrigin=notifications&notificationId=%3Cinbox%3E%2112493109-1771397972801) **What to Bring** • Suitable and comfortable clothing, hiking boots are not necessary as there are no steep hills, flat surface all the way.

Join us as we get together to see Paul Rudd in the latest comedy-drama-musical from John Carney, POWER BALLAD! The film follows a washed-up wedding singer, a fading boy band singer and a stolen hit song. Here’s a description, trailer and plan for this event: DESCRIPTION: Rick, a washed-up wedding singer, and Danny, a fading boy band star, bond over music and a late-night jam session. When Danny turns Rick's song into a hit, Rick sets out to reclaim the recognition he believes he deserves. Power Ballad is written/directed by John Carney, the master of the modern musical and creative mind behind Once, Begin Again and Sing Street! It stars Paul Rudd, Nick Jonas, Peter McDonald, Marcella Plunkett, Havana Rose Liu and Jack Reynor. BUZZ & ACCLAIM: The film premiered to rave reviews at this year’s Dublin International Film Festival where critics call it “a sure-fired crowd-pleaser” that “just might be the feel-good hit of the year!” Others say, “Paul Rudd delivers a career-best performance in this charmer” that’s both “hilarious and deeply moving!” SUMMER OF ICE CREAM, VOL 2: SHAKE NO. 8!

Join us for Sharp Objects by Gillian Flynn! Fresh from a brief stay at a psych hospital, reporter Camille Preaker faces a troubling assignment: she must return to her tiny hometown to cover the unsolved murder of a preteen girl and the disappearance of another. For years, Camille has hardly spoken to her neurotic, hypochondriac mother or to the half-sister she barely knows: a beautiful thirteen-year-old with an eerie grip on the town. Now, installed in her old bedroom in her family's Victorian mansion, Camille finds herself identifying with the young victims—a bit too strongly. Dogged by her own demons, she must unravel the psychological puzzle of her own past if she wants to get the story-and survive this homecoming.
