We start at Snaresbrook Station and we will walk through Epping Forest to Highams Park Lake, where we will stop for a tea/coffee break at Humphries. We will proceed on to Epping Forest visitors centre for the lunch stop and a look around the centre. We will carry on to Loughton Station where the walk ends. Bring drinks and snacks/sandwiches, wear appropriate clothing according to weather conditions. The weather outlook is sunny but expect occasional mud patches.
