This walk is 6 to 7 miles long, fairly flat with some undulated hills but nothing too strenuous. We will pass via Wakehurst Place woodlands and the Millennium Seedbank where there is a café and the chance to have a look around. Bring your packed lunch and drinks although we will stop for a drink […]

The walk is roughly 8 miles and involves no uphill sections. We pass the Sportsman Pub in Mogador and the cafe and loos at Reigate Hill. Halfway along there is a great reveal, where we walk out onto Colley Hill on the North Downs, with massive views to the South. All of this is dependent […]

Join other transport geeks, enthusiasts and day trippers for a ride on and visit to some of London’s newest transport infrastructure and trains, with an emphasis on the East. Naturally transport providers have thwarted some best laid plans through timetable changes and bus replacement. So unfortunately we won’t be travelling on the shortest rail service […]
