Overview

Tried midweek/urban walking? Do you want to do a longer walk but unsure of the distance? Or do you just want to walk closer to home? Whatever your reason, you're welcome on this walk. It's the first in a series of four "Going the Distance in London" walks which happen every 3 months or so.

This is a 12 mile walk in London with drop out points at Mansion House (6 miles), Aldgate (8 miles) and Farringdon (10 miles). It's an opportunity to see how far you can walk, safe in the knowledge you can drop out without being stuck in the middle of nowhere.

This walk will be held at a pace equivalent to a Moderate countryside walk. Lunch stop will be at Mansion House. Bring a packed lunch or use one of the food to go options in the area. Possible pub stop later on in the walk depending on time for drinks only.

We will be starting promptly at 11:00 so please allow yourself plenty of time to arrive on time.
