SUMMARY:Walk and Picnic at Harrison Rocks
DESCRIPTION:A bright eyed Viewpoint reader has pointed out that the listing in the centre pages of Viewpoint refers to this event as a Climbing activity.\nThis is not a climbing event\, it’s a walk ! There might be some small hills to climb\, but no rock climbing is involved. \nNo special equipment is needed\, apart from the COPSE traditional and optional items of: bobble hat\, hiking boots\, gaiters\, compass\, OS Map\, sandwich\, drink\, rucksack\, anorak\, gloves\, and it’s hard to imagine needing more than sunhat\, shorts and sandals in this heat. \nAssemble at East Croydon by 10 to catch the 10:09 East Grinstead train\, change at Oxted for the Uckfield train. Get a return Ticket to Eridge. \nFirstly\, we will take the train down to Ashurst\, due in at 10:59. From Ashurst station\, we will walk South East\, via Groombridge. Groombridge is a sweet small town/larger village\, with the added bonus of a heritage railway. \nOur “picnic” is towards the end of the walk at Harrisons Rocks\, which are the closest climbing rocks to London\, and very popular. We are not planning any climbing\, and beware that there are vertical drops from the top of the rocks. The idea is to observe the spectacle of the rocks and the climbers\, from the ground. \nFrom the rocks\, it is not far to Eridge station for the train home. \nPath route shown in orange dots on the map. If we want a longer walk there is an option for an extra loop from the Rocks to Eridge\, marked in blue\, to explore more on the way. There are hourly trains at 51 minutes past\, and a convenient pub by the station to wait for the next train\, or the one after. The Huntsman\, open until 6pm.

SUMMARY:Follow Pissaro's steps in Norwood
DESCRIPTION:Camille Pissarro\, father of Impressionism\, lived in Crystal Palace for a year 150 years ago. Let’s look at places he painted back then and see how things have changed. He had family in West Dulwich and West Norwood so we include these places on our tour\n\nSadly there are a lot of rail engineering works next weekend but please bring your travel pass so we can use buses as required.  There is a 468 bus from Croydon South End which passes the Fairfield Hall\, Whitgift Centre and West Croydon stops.\n\nPlease bring water and snacks but we will pass plenty of places to top up on our travels. We’ll also find a pub to end our walk at – details to follow\n\nPS Pissarro married his wife Julie at Croydon Register Office!\n\nIt would be helpful to know if you intend to come along.\n\nIf you want any further information and where to meet contact Julie –  07931533785

SUMMARY:Croydon Heritage walk in South Norwood
DESCRIPTION:We will explore the social and religious history\, architecture\, religions\, famous people associated with the area eg Sir Arthur Conan-Doyle\, Pissarro and Shirley Bassey\, and it’s industrial past. \n\nThe tour will start and end at Norwood Junction station. We will aim to depart at 2.30 pm. There is a train from East Croydon at 2.15 and one from West Croydon at 2.16.\n\nWe will have a park stop if you want to bring your own refreshments but we pass some cafes also and my house for toilet breaks! My thinking is we will finish c 5pm then for those who want to stay around afterwards to stay for drinks and food there are a few nice choices. It would be useful to have some idea as to numbers. The whole walk will be dog friendly and there is some street parking for drivers. If you need to contact me on the day my number is 07931533785

SUMMARY:Outing: Folk Night at the Cryer Arts Theatre\, + preceded by Wandle Walk
DESCRIPTION:Keith says: \n1) As you know\, I’m arranging an outdoor COPSE visit to the Cryer Arts Studio In Carshalton High Street on Tuesday12th April for their regular “folk night” (2nd Tuesday of each month) which starts at 7.30pm.\nI’ve been going there for a few months now and have been impressed by not only the “proper” stage\, tables in front (which can be removed for folk/barn dancing)\, the staggered rear seating\, the welcoming bar (open from 4pm + serving a variety of beers\, wines + hot food. \n2) Also\, I’m intending to lead a short three mile walk from Wandle Park tram stop about 3.30pm to Carshalton Ponds(via the River Wandle\, Beddington Park + The Grove) aiming to get to the venue by about 5.30pm for a meal + drinks. \nFeel free to join us for the walk\, the folk night or both.\nPlease book your tickets\, individually or in groups\, at https://www.ticketsource.co.uk/whats-on?q=cryer-folk.\nAlternatively\, take a chance and turn up on the day.

SUMMARY:Bike Ride from Croydon
DESCRIPTION:Assemble at Canary Cafe on the Brighton road for a 10:30 departure\, so come at 10am for a quick coffee before setting off. Just South of Whitgift School\, you can’t miss it. From there we will head further South. \nDepending on the weather\, on the day and in the days ahead\, will depend our ultimate path from Croydon. Some paths could be muddy if we have had wet weather. We have two options: \nGodstone Vinyards via Caterham – this is a circular route we took some years ago\, which was great fun. As long as it is dry under our tyres\, this route is a classic\, but it has some off road sections that might be muddy if it has been raining. Quiet back routes down through South Croydon to Caterham\, where there is an option to get the train home\, or to meet us from the train if you are running late. Then off into alpine Caterham\, over the A22 on the bridge\, and down to the Vinyards\, where there is a cafe. Back via private roads through Warlingham School\, into Warlingham\, and home down Limpsfield Road. \nKeep Cycling South. Further afield on a linear route with the train home. With good weather and strong legs we could take the high road up Riddlesdown to Warlingham\, the bike track along the Limpsfield Road to Botley Hill\, down through Clackett Lane into Limpsfield Chart\, and on to Lingfield\, or further\, with a train home once we are done. We follow the train line so there are lots of options to get home. \nWhen we get closer to the date we will confirm the final plan\, based on your preferences\, and the weather
