6.5 miles at an easy pace. Almost flat but a steep hill up to Hilly Fields, and near the end of the walk you can climb the steps up Stave Hill and down. May be some muddy areas.

Route: Ladywell Fields, Hilly Fields, Fordham Park, Deptford, New Cross, Greenland Dock, Russia Dock and Canada Water.

Food: On Deptford High Street, but if very busy in the cafe, a large MacDonalds nearer to Greenland Dock is available, along with toilets. Veggie burgers available.

Drop out points are available.
