Finchley & Hornsey is a friendly group, open to everyone. We walk mainly in Herts and surrounding counties.

Interesting, mostly flat, walk from Snaresbrook, passing through less visited southern parts of Epping Forest, finishing at the Queen Elizabeth Hunting Lodge and on to Chingford where there are buses and trains. It may be muddy in parts, reasonable paths.
There are usually open toilets at Snaresbrook Underground station, otherwise bushes are fairly plentiful although we are never far from residential areas. Please bring a snack or packed lunch, although some may wish to avail themselves of the food available at the Butlers Retreat or the pub.
(Anyone wishing to add another 5-6 miles to the walk may continue through the forest to Theydon Bois.)
Please meet in the ticket hall near the main entrance in Snaresbrook Tube Station.
We will finish at Chingford Station from where you can get the train to Walthamstow to connect with the Victoria Line, or there are buses. there are public toilets at the station. The walk will end at the Queen Elizabeth Hunting Lodge for those wishing to eat at Butlers Retreat or visit the Lodge or Visitors Centre.
