We had good news on 1 December 2020 in the form of an E Mail message from our Ramble List Compiler which has now been followed up with joyful news of rambles on Sundays 6 and 13 December 2020 as follows:
Sunday 13th December Leader: Ant Connolly (OS Landranger 177)
Meet: Outside western entrance of Limehouse DLR/C2C station 1000 for 1015 prompt departure.
Coffee: Yurt Cafe, Limehouse for a coffee/comfort stop
Lunch: Please note the following details, changed since we first had details of this walk on the website: Two pubs in Island Gardens: The Ferry House (chicken or cheese salad box for £3.50 – for pic click HERE) OR The Watermans (serves Sunday Roasts and other hot food – click HERE for Main menu or HERE for special Sunday Menu attached). Plenty of benches in Island Gardens for picnickers, however recommend the first pub to be out of the cold
Tea: No planned stop but a takeaway tea/coffee can be had from the cafes passed on way to station. Plenty of other choices if walkers wish to spend longer in town
Miles: 8 miles returning from Greenwich station. Visit to Crossrail Place (rooftop garden) in Canary Wharf before lunch. About 5 miles in the morning, and afterwards a wander to Point Hill in Greenwich, which involves a little hilly climb. Easy dropout at Cutty Sark DLR.
Fare: Oyster / Freedom pass / Travelcard options
Ant will meet the ramblers at Limehouse.
