Overview

Initial information - check online programme for confirmed final details including start time.  An enjoyable first section of the London Outer Orbital Path (LOOP);  expect a mix of walking along riversides (Thames, Darent and Cray) and paths through open ground or woods which are mostly level but a few short climbs (and possibly one stile).  There may be mud or even waterlogged sections especially along rivers. Picnic lunch stop at Crayford Riverside Gardens, where there are toilets and possibly a cafe for drinks (tbc).  Also planning a tea time stop at Hall Place and Gardens towards end of the walk
