Overview

The numbers on this walk are limited.  Booking is essential so please use the email link  to book a place.

Please meet at Totteridge and Whetstone tube station in good time for a prompt departure at 10.00 am.  I will try to confirm if the platform toilets will be available.  The lunch stop will be in the village of Mill Hill where there are benches for picnic eaters. I have booked six places for lunch at the Three Hammers. Use the email link to request a pub lunch by Thursday 15 January. 

This is a surprisingly green almost rural walk through London's greenbelt with not much pavement walking. Highlights include Darlands Lake Nature Reserve, Totteridge Common, Mill Hill Village and Totteridge Village.  Apart from some very muddy areas at some kissing gates the walk should be reasonably dry. Much of it is on level ground but be aware of a long ascent of about 900 metres in the morning. There is one stile in the afternoon. It is possible to drop out at lunchtime by taking bus 240 to Mill Hill East or Golders Green tube stations.  We finish at Totteridge and Whetstone tube.
