Overview

We will initially follow the River Cray, taking in meadows and woodlands, before branching off. There should be good views along the way. We will be in South East London but hopefully it will feel like we are in the countryside.

We will finish at Petts Wood station. A pub and a restaurant are nearby for those who wish. We'll take a walk through Jubilee Country Park before we finish. 

Please bring a packed lunch. Toilet facilities should be available along the way. Pub stop at the end.

Terrain: Generally flat. May be muddy in places.

Travel: Take 10:21 from London Charing Cross (10:24 Waterloo East, 10:30 London Bridge), arr. Crayford 11:02. Use Oyster/contactless.
