Overview

Start off the New Year with the Chiltern Young Walkers and join us on a scenic walk around the many lakes of the Rickmansworth Aquadrome. Starting from the Aquadrome car park we will head around Batchworth, Bury, Stockers & Springwell lake, then head down the Grand Union Canal past Lynster's lake. We will then stop for a pint at the Coy Carp then head back via the Hillingdon Trail and back along the Grand Union Canal.

Please wear practical shoes as it will likely be muddy, and if we get heavy rain beforehand we may have to cut the walk short if the paths are flooded. Please also bring a pack lunch.

The Aquadrome car park is free all day and is a 15 minute walk away from Rickmansworth station if you're using public transport.
