Overview

On Bonfire night we will be walking through the dark woodland of Putney Heath. If the weather is good, we will pause on the heath to watch a firework show. The show starts at 8:30 pm in nearby Wimbledon Park, and we may be able to see it from a distance.

We may finish later than usual due to the timing of the fireworks. Wrap up warm. Some of the paths may be unpaved so please wear suitable footwear. Bring a head torch.

Optional: Please join us in the pub at the end of the walk for a drink and a chat.

Terrain: Urban, unpaved paths, parkland, steps
