Maurice brought the 2021 rambling year to a fitting conclusion with a walk in the Redhill area. The itinerary for the day is shown below and is followed by a bumper selection of photographs kindly provided by Maria Langford and Antoinette Adkins. I'm afraid the photographs are not in the precice order in which they were taken.

Meet:       Blackfriars 1000 for 1024 train to Redhill (arr 1102). 
                Train also calls Finsbury Park 1008, St Pancras International                          Platform A 1015, London Bridge 1030 and East Croydon 1046.

 Fairly easy going underfoot. Distance before and after lunch is about the same so ideal for anyone who wants to come just for the morning or afternoon.
