Overview

Meet: Chingford station. This is a circular walk to the Owl pub and return to Chingford. There are no parking restrictions in the local area on Sundays. There will be an early picnic lunch stop at The View next to the Royal Forest Hotel before proceeding to the Owl for a 30 minute “drinks only” stop. It is important that anything consumed at The Owl is bought there. The pub has a strict rule about this and enforced it last year to our considerable embarrassment. It is essential that we avoid a recurrence of that. Don’t forget to bring sufficient drinks to fuel you at the early lunch and throughout the day (but not at the pub of course).
