27 August. Fifteen members of our lovely group met at the station and walked through the pretty village of Eynsford, to reach a hill rising up towards the Birds of Prey Centre. We did not spot any notable birds, but our expert had chosen to miss the hill. One other Read more…
20 August. A small group of us gathered at Hammersmith Station and it was not long before we were at the River Thames and Hammersmith’s famous Victorian green bridge, which is in need of renovation. Lunch was in the village of Barnes and afterwards, as we walked back along the Read more…
11 August 2022. This outing, combining a short ride on a steam hauled heritage train operated by the Chinnor and Princes Risborough Railway (CPRR) with a gentle walk back to Princes Risborough, was originally offered as a pop-up day out for members of the Morley College Rambling Club and the Read more…
6 August 2022. Eight people started (and finished) this walk, all of which is on the north side of the railway line. After a brief detour to avoid a path blocked by brambles and nettles, we joined the “Brenda Parker Way” for the whole of the rest of the walk. Read more…

2 July 2022. No leader could have asked for more. A glorious Sussex day of perfect walking temperature, a gentle breeze, sunshine and a display of stratus, cirrus and cumulus clouds, endless choruses of larks ascending and views in all directions. We were 11 in total – 1 for each Read more…

Six of us met at Sevenoaks station expecting it to be another very hot and humid day but thankfully the heat had abated a little and with a bit of rain and some sunshine along the way nothing could dampen our spirits. We started up along the narrow pavements through Read more…
