**🥾 Description**
This beautiful hike winds through shaded woodland trails, Cherry Lane, and peaceful country lanes, following farm tracks before descending into the valley to reveal the **magnificent Ouse Valley Viaduct**, an iconic masterpiece **built in 1842** for the London to Brighton railway line. The route then climbs gently towards the serene **Ardingly Reservoir**, romantically nestled between steep, rolling hills.
Ardingly Reservoir offers a variety of activities, including sailing, paddleboard hire, and opportunities to try windsurfing, making it the perfect spot for our lunch break. After a relaxed pause, the walk continues to **Wakehurst Place**, a National Trust property that serves as **Kew’s “country garden”** and is home to the **world-famous Millennium Seed Bank.** The final leg of the journey crosses two scenic valleys before returning to Balcombe, rounding off a walk rich in history, natural beauty, and breath taking views.
## **Highlights**
* **The Ouse Valley Viaduct:** This spectacular architecture is a stunning mid-19th-century railway bridge. A breath taking Victorian structure with 37 arches spanning the valley, regarded as “probably the most elegant viaduct in Britain.”
**Ardingly Reservoir**: A serene spot for wildlife watching and panoramic water views.
* **Wakehurst Place** – Gardens, woodlands, and the **Millennium Seedbank** at this National Trust gem.

Vice world tango champion's workshop + London MILONGA
Sunday 10/05: VICTORIA OLIVELLA’S Workshops + Milonga
**We are so honoured to welcome back, this Sunday, the maestra and Worldwide Tango Salon Vice Champion VICTORIA OLIVELLA (Buenos Aires), who will be teaching at Los Angelitos an exclusive class, and celebrate with us at the milonga.**
**Victoria Olivella** is an Argentine tango dancer and teacher recognised for her elegance, musicality, and strong technical foundation. She gained international attention as the **World Vice Champion of Tango in 2022**, a title that established her among the leading figures of the contemporary tango scene. She came so close to being world champion – at this level, the difference between sub-champion and world champion is infinitesimal ;-).
Known for her refined style and expressive interpretation, Olivella performs and teaches at festivals and events across Europe and beyond, often partnering with renowned dancers. Her teaching is especially appreciated for being clear, warm, and practical, focusing on technique, connection, and musical awareness developed through years of experience. You will find her teaching impressively warm and useful, giving tips that she developed in her dancing along the years.
Don’t miss this opportunity to learn from the best tango has to offer.
**[CHECK MORE ABOUT VICTORIA & HER FULL PROGRAMME IN LONDON](https://tanguito.co.uk/events/victoria-olivella-at-tanguito-in-2026/)**
**PROGRAMME TODAY:**
Victoria will teach with Bruno both classes. We will start with he beginner / improver lesson on the theme of the ***Sanguchito***, and follow with the 3pm ***Fabulous Sanguchito & Quebrada combinations***: push the boundaries of what you can do with this classic and learn the tricks and technique from a vice champion to make them to die for – well not that far but almost ;-).
Your milonga Los Angelitos will follow, for all to enjoy. What a feast!

Building Scalable Customer Identity Resolution Pipelines on AWS Using AI
Customer identity resolution becomes increasingly complex as organizations scale across multiple systems, regions, and data formats. Traditional rule-based approaches often fail to keep up with data variability, require constant manual tuning, and struggle with real-time processing needs.
This session presents a practical approach to building a scalable identity resolution pipeline using AWS services and modern AI techniques. The architecture combines data ingestion through Amazon S3 and AWS Glue, transformation pipelines using Spark on EMR, and machine learning models deployed via SageMaker for entity matching and standardization. Graph-based relationship modeling is implemented using Amazon Neptune to improve resolution accuracy by incorporating household and shared attribute context.
We will walk through how machine learning models can be used for name and address normalization, how intelligent blocking strategies improve matching efficiency, and how feedback loops can be introduced to continuously improve accuracy. The session also highlights how serverless components such as AWS Lambda can be used for orchestration and real-time processing.
