**📕ABOUT:**
\- A proper London\-edge adventure that strings together two of the capital’s most underrated wild spaces in a single walk — ancient Epping Forest and the lakes and waterways of the Lee Valley\.
\- We start at Chingford\, where Queen Victoria opened the Forest to the people in 1882\, then head straight in past Queen Elizabeth’s Hunting Lodge and pretty Connaught Water\.
\- From there it’s miles of rolling\, knobbly oak and beech woodland — some trees as old as the Anglo\-Saxons — climbing gently to the High Beach ridge at 115m\, the day’s high point\.
\- A long\, lovely descent through Sewardstone drops us out of the trees and into the Lee Valley: marshes\, lakes\, reedbeds\, and the calm of the Lee Navigation towpath all the way into Cheshunt\.
——
**⭐️HIGHLIGHTS:**
* **Chingford & Queen Elizabeth’s Hunting Lodge:** 1543 Tudor grandstand on the edge of the Forest.
* **Connaught Water:** peaceful early-morning lake, popular with herons and swans.
* **Epping Forest ancient woodland:** 5,900 acres of veteran oaks, beeches and hornbeams; some trees as old as the Anglo-Saxons.
* **High Beach ridge:** the day’s high point, classic Forest views.
* **Sewardstone:** the Forest’s quiet western edge, opening into farmland.
* **River Lee Country Park:** lakes, wetlands and excellent birdwatching.
* **Lee Navigation towpath:** tranquil canal walking right into Cheshunt.

Rabble - Fitness Through Games!
A Rabble session is 1 hour of fun and social team games.
Each game disguises high-intensity intervals within the rules, giving you an effective, all-body workout without even realising it.
We play a bunch of different games at each session (like British Bulldog, Capture the Flag, Dodgeball, Frisbee and many more), and every class is different.
Sessions are open to all, no matter your sporting ability. Each game is explained before we start, so there's no need to have played any of the games before.
Come solo or bring friends! And stay at the end for the social part!
Who knew getting fit could be this fun?
**TO BOOK**:
It's essential that you book onto sessions via our website, using the link below; due to restrictions on games and preparation times we cannot accept walk-ins, or late arrivals.

FULL - Social Walk, Games & Pub Trip | Battersea Park
**It's landed. Another Sunday and we’ve got your weekend sorted again with a special summer Social Walk and Pub trip - exclusively for 20s and 30s.**
For our latest Sunday walk, we’ll be visiting hiking from Vauxhall to Battersea Park, in south-west London 🌳
Before heading off on the hike, as always - you'll be allocated a group for a mix of light-hearted games to help you break the ice and get to know your fellow walkers a little better before we set off.
After the games and once everyone is warmed up for the walk, we’ll set off on our 2–3 hour stroll from Vauxhall Pleasure Gardens.
From there, we’ll take a scenic route along the River Thames, enjoying views of the Houses of Parliament, Big Ben and the London Eye, before continuing downriver past Battersea Power Station.
We’ll then cross into Battersea Park to explore its beautiful lakes and subtropical gardens, and wander past the famous Peace Pagoda 🧘
As always, we will then finish up at a nearby pub where you can grab a drink, rest your legs and get to know your fellow hikers a bit better.
It should be another great summer afternoon stroll - although, as always, we will be having to cap numbers for this event so do make sure you nab your place as soon as you can!

Amberley to Worthing – South Downs backcountry paths & Cissbury Ring
**WHAT TO EXPECT - HIKING INFO**
Distance: **25km** (c. 15 miles)
Ascent: c. **585m**
Estimated Duration (approx): **7 hours walking (moderate pace 4km/hr)**
Difficulty: **Energetic**
**HIGHLIGHT**
· Great views from Amberley Mount and Rackman Hill
· Undulating paths over the downs heading south towards Worthing
· Slow ascents and descents on remote paths away from South Downs Way
· Visit the ancient and most historic hill fort in Sussex – The Cissbury Ring.
· Optional sea swim at the end!
**DESCRIPTION**
*This walk is on paths less travelled over South Downs rolling hills with fantastic views along the way. There is an optional sea swim at the end for those who want to cool off after a good day’s walk.*
This is a beautiful part of the south downs with fantastic views and rolling hills - and with some neolithic and bronze age history along our way.
We start our walk in Amberley as we head up our first hill onto the South Downs to Rackman Hill for fantastic views looking north towards the North Downs – hopefully we will have good views on the day.
We then head south over rolling hills and forlorn paths, meeting locals who know the less travelled parts of the south downs. I have chosen a route which meanders past other settlement hills and hopefully with views over to the sea. We pass Finden for a refreshment stop after 14km (no pub stops before then).
We then head over to Cissbury Ring – the oldest hill fort on the South Downs Way. It boasts much history - a neolithic flint mines, bronze age burial ground, iron age hill fort, a roman mint, a tudor vantage point before it was investigated archeologically by the Victorians. Then onto Worthing for a drink and a swim!
Option at this stage is to head back to London or go down to Worthing Pier and have a swim.
*ps. My walks make time to enjoy the views, take in local history, and look at interesting buildings along the way.*
