Finchley & Hornsey is a friendly group, open to everyone. We walk mainly in Herts and surrounding counties.
Walking from Ravensbourne Station we stay as close as possible to the course of the Ravensbourne River as it flows to the Thames at Deptford/Greenwich. The walk is a mixture of riverside walking, parks and roads (some short busy stretches) so expect a combination of muddy paths and pavements. The full walk is just under nine miles but there are lots of dropping off points en route (Two,Three, Four, Six, Seven Miles). Did not see any public toilets but there pubs and cafes along the way.
Recommend catching the 09:46 from Blackfriars Station (Platform 3) which arrives at Ravensbourne Station at 10:17. The trans run every half hour so DONT miss the train.
A little known tributary of the Thames only eleven miles long. The walk starts in the suburbs and becomes busier as we go along. The walk shares some of its route with the Capital Ring and Green Chain walks and is mostly quiet and pleasant but also a few busy roads. Plenty of places to get refreshments along the way but recommend packed lunches.
Meet at the exit of Ravensbourne Station. There’s a small coffee shack that should be open.
