This is a linear walk and it is all within the Freedom Pass area. The train is as advertised on the programme, i.e. the 8.57 from Waterloo, arriving at Wimbledon at 9.13. When you arrive, take the exit signposted for Wimbledon Village, go through the ticket barriers and we’ll meet Read more…
1 April. The Boxhill Circular walk started well. We welcomed a guest from North London HF ramblers. The weather was overcast, but dry as we ascended Box Hill and it looked like the walk would go to plan. Once we reached Salomons Memorial Viewpoint, we descended down the hill to walk Read more…
25 March. Following a week of rain and a forecast for more light rain showers, we expected to be trudging through lots of mud and possibly getting wet, however, we were blessed with a fine, dry day, with a chill wind but periods of sunshine ….and, yes, mud but not Read more…
18 March. Despite the unpromising weather forecast, a group of us set off from Hammersmith station and we were soon at the River Thames admiring the green bridge built by Joseph Bazalgette and although it now allows walkers and cyclists, it is still in a lamentable state of repair. For Read more…

14 January 2023. This walk replaced one on the original programme that was impassable on the recce due to severe flooding. Even the route of this replacement had to be amended in parts to avoid flooded areas. The weather forecast was for heavy rain in the morning, but we were Read more…
A stalwart group of Morley Ramblers gathered at Richmond station on Saturday Morning 7 January – undeterred by convoluted travel routes and intimidating weather forecasts.
