Overview

This walk has been brought forward from Tuesday 11th March.

This walk follows the first part of London Loop Stage 4 up to the T-junction with the Vanguard Way, which we then follow to East Croydon.  Stretches of undulating, muddy woodland, with superb views from Addington Heights, while even the more built-up areas are mainly traversed by footpaths.

Lunch: Picnic on Addington Heights.  There will be a pub stop for drinks and toilets shortly before the ascent. 

Train:  Charing Cross 10:08, London Bridge 10:18, arriving Hayes at 10:51 (Zone 5).  There are no toilets on the train to Hayes, and the toilet at Hayes station is not always open.
