Continuing to be inspired by Paul’s assault on the Loop, and encouraged by the enthusiastic turnout for Parts 1 to 5, I’m continuing the Capital Ring circuit.

Newbies can click on the map above to see what the Capital Ring is all about.

This leg is a stroll of about 7.5 miles on rough tracks or paths and grass, with some ups and downs. Please wear boots as mud still prevails!

The book says :

“Many Capital Ring walkers rate this section as the prettiest of the route., as it crosses three vast and delightful open spaces – Wimbledon Park, Wimbledon Common and Richmond Park – and conveniently passes their tea rooms”

There are plenty of feeding and toilet opportunities along the way, and there are pub options at the end – The Prince’s Head looks a good bet..

We finish at Richmond Station, from where the best way back to Croydon appears to involve a train to Waterloo, though I’m sure others can find alternative routes.
