SUMMARY:Easter Monday Walk
DESCRIPTION:I will lead a seven mile circular walk from Biggin Hill on Easter Monday 1st April. It could be completed in about four hours at a moderate pace including a short stop but we would have up to five hours before catching a return bus at 15:34. It is a bit muddy in places but is mostly ok. There are only a couple of moderate hills. There is only one pub on the route but it is less than an hour from the start so bring adequate food and drink. Refreshments are available in Biggin Hill. \nMeet at East Croydon bus station stop E1 by 09:25 to catch the Superloop bus SL5 from stop E1 to Bromley South at 09:33. That is the advertised time but in any case we get the first bus after 09:30. The bus will stop at Elmfield Road which is one stop after Bromley South station because at the moment that stop is closed. We then walk down the High Street to bus stop Z to catch the 320 bus at 10:11 to Biggin Hill\, Lebanon Gardens. The walk starts from Church Road which is next to the swimming pool and library. If anyone wants to drive to Biggin Hill there is a free car park next to the recreation ground. You turn into Church Road from Main Road and the entrance is shortly on the left by a large sign saying ‘Biggin Hill Clinic’. Let me know if you want us to meet you in the car park. Return is 320 bus from stop W at 15:34 (or other time as appropriate) to Bromley South then SL5 to East Croydon. \nBob. \ntel 07982 841121

SUMMARY:Walk along the Seagull Trail
DESCRIPTION:DON’T FORGET IT’S ON SAT\, SAT\, SATURDAY!\n(ON SUNDAY MORNING YOU CAN HAVE A LIE-IN  WATCHING ALAN TITCHMARSH & MICHAEL PORTILLO ON THE TELLY!) \nAlso a little note to those who have walked this before\, a new route in this part is being used which for about two thirds is completely different! \nSo yes\, Saturday April 6th\, 2024 for Part Five of this route\, picking up from last Spring at Crawley Down\, Sussex (nothing to do with Crawley) to Ardingly village\, a distance of around ten miles of fairly gently undulating topography\,  but likely with plenty of mud as it’s done nothing but RAIN for the last goodness knows how long a time!! Despite what it may say in certain sources\, this is not a 9-5pm day (as in the song!) – don’t expect to be back in Croydon until after 7pm (unless you leave early\, which is an option – see below). \nBy-the-by\, the Industrial In-Action on the railways this long weekend is not due to disrupt the plans at all. As just mentioned you can leave (or join?) at West Hoathly around lunch time or later (on a Metrobus 84) if you have had enough\, or want to explore this village more (there’s an open garden here – the Priest’s House – which some of you have probably visited\, but we probably won’t plan to visit as it costs money to enter and needs time to go round\, so you may want to return privately for this). \nBring along usual food and drink supplies. There is a pot selling place with a cafe along the way\, which we could use if making good time\, but the main stop is West Hoathly village with its Pub\, and churchyard for sandwich eaters. Also a pub at Ardingly in case we have time before the bus. \nAnd the bit you’ve been waiting for\, the Travel stuff! \nMeet at East Croydon Railway Station by 9.30am ‘clock-time’ (and you know why I say that! it’s that crazy time of the year again!) to catch the 9.49am train to Three Bridges (one a little while later too in case this one messes up). From there\, on the opposite side of the road from the station’s main entrance\, we catch one of three different Metrobus services (281 at 10.36\, 272 at 10.46 or 291 at 11.06am…earlier the better) to Crawley Down WAR MEMORIAL stop. \nReturning we catch the Metrobus 272 bus from Ardingly at 6.11pm to Three Bridges where we jump on a train for East Croydon (there is an earlier 272 bus at 5.45pm that goes to Haywards Heath Rail Stn\, and you’d need to pay the extra on the train). \nPaul\, 07968 223589. \n  \nHave I missed anything…probably – ask me anything! Will further check the travel situation as the week wears on\, but the timetables I’ve seen allow for the industrial in-action. \n

SUMMARY:Lake District 5 nights @ Elterwater Hostel
DESCRIPTION:I’m  organising a trip to Elterwater Hostel (formerly a YHA hostel\, now independent) in the Lake District in April.    I’m planning on staying for 5 nights so as to have 4 whole days up there.  Obviously the idea is to get on to them there hills.  The Old Man of Coniston (which I haven’t climbed for over 30 years) is nearby\, so it’s a chance for some old men (and women) to climb the Old Man! Maybe also Helvetian. The hostel\, being an ex YH\, is a lovely old building with 6 bedded rooms (about £30 pppn) and twin rooms (about £40 pppn) in a small village with a choice of pubs. \nYou can go by train to Windermere\, then by bus. Car Lifts Full.

SUMMARY:Visit to the Royal Institution
DESCRIPTION:A London walk  to the Royal Institution (free entry)\, and other mystery places of interest\, including a free visit to the Collection Gallery at the Royal Academy of Arts. Julie and myself will be co-leading the walk. \nThe Royal Institution of Great Britain (often the Royal Institution\, abbreviated Ri or RI) is an organisation for scientific education and research. Throughout its history\, the Institution has supported public engagement with science through a programme of lectures\, many of which continue today. The most famous of these are the annual Royal Institution Christmas Lectures\, founded by Michael Faraday in 1825\, which are televised every year on the BBC. You will also be able to see the actual laboratory where Michael Faraday made some of his fundamental discoveries and you will also get to visit a museum in the RI\, showing various discoveries made there. \nWe will be meeting at East Croydon station 9.30 am\, hoping to catch the 9.45 am train Plat 4\, to Victoria station. We will be walking from Victoria to the Royal Institution near Green Park. There are toilets at Victoria station and at our destinations. I suggest you bring refreshments\, in which you can have the opportunity to have them in the seating area of the courtyard at the Royal Academy of Arts. There are also cafes inside the Royal Institution and the Royal Academy of Arts. After\, we are planning to walk around St James’ Park and then walk back to Victoria\, and find a pub there in Victoria. \nAny questions\, please do not hesitate to email me. \nKind regards\, \nMaria
