NLSH Ramblers is a really friendly group, whose members all share a love of walking and the countryside. You’ll always receive a warm welcome from us, whether you want to walk with us regularly or from time to time.
A moderate summer walk of 10 miles in the Ver-Colne Valley, with a combination of open meadows and shady woodland paths.
The walk leader is John N 075437 04633
Optional car share from High Barnet: Victor's Way/Moxon St Car Park, EN5 5TR, leaving 9:30 (12 miles).
Bring a picnic and water but we will have time for a pub stop (drink only) in the beer garden at Round Bush, if the weather is fine, otherwise indoors.
UPDATE 19 August
Avoid approaching Park Street village from M1/Hatfield/St Albans into Watling Street. Planned road closure starts from A414 roundabout near Park Street BP petrol station, but access is ok from Radlett A5183 and Tippendell Lane from M25 (J21A). From Radlett you will see a “road closed ahead” sign but immediately thereafter traffic is being diverted into Smug Oak Lane.
Riverside Way carpark, Drop Lane, Bricket Wood. From M25 (J21A) follow signs for St Albans and at the second roundabout turn right into Tippendell Lane. Take the right turn before railway bridge and traffic lights (signed How Wood Station) and continue past the station, then straight on to where the road bears left to Bricket Wood and immediately turn first left at the pub (The Gate) into Smug Oak Lane. Drop Lane is further along on the right (signed Riverside Way) and the car park is the second turning on the left. From Radlett continue through Colney Street and turn left into Smug Oak Lane and left into Drop Lane.
