Overview

This is a surprisingly rural walk on the northern edge of the metropolis.

Venturing past the Gobions Wood nature reserve and stopping at North Mymms for a picnic lunch.

Then we head back to Potters Bar via The Black Horse pub in South Mymms where we stop for a quick drink. Expect to finish mid to late afternoon.

Any problems please let me know although the response might be delayed.
