Southall to Osterley Park Loop: Part II
After lunch, we continued our walk around Osterley Park, enjoying more of the beautiful grounds surrounding the house. The estate includes open parkland, woodland, gardens, a lake and farmland, making it feel surprisingly rural for somewhere in West London.
After exploring the park, we headed out, crossed over the M4…

Southall to Osterley Park Loop: Part I
Our day started rather early as we all met at Southall Station, ready for a full day of walking. Southall was a lively, contrasting part of London, but once we made our way through the urban streets, we soon reached the Grand Union Canal.
From here, we followed the towpath…

Ponders End to Edmonton via. Lea Navigation
After a long day at work, I fancied a quieter way home, so I extended my commute with a bit of gravel riding along the River Lea Navigation. From Ponders End Station, I crossed the footbridge and joined the gravel towpath, following it all the way towards the North Circular…

Another extended commute along the River Lea Navigation, this time taking an alternative route at Pickett’s Lock. After following the towpath from Ponders End, I diverted at the lock, then looped back towards Edmonton.

Harlow Town to Epping
A great group hike from Harlow to Epping and another brilliant day out with my hiking group. We started by making our way through Harlow town centre, although unfortunately we couldn’t cut through the park because of an event. Instead, we walked around the park before eventually rejoining the route…

Margate to Ramsgate via. England Coast Path
A slow-paced and relaxing hike from Margate to Ramsgate along the England Coast Path, and exactly the endorphin boost I needed before heading back to work after a long summer break.
The day started fairly early in London, and by the time I reached Margate it was already around midday.…

Theobalds Grove to Enfield Chase via. New River Path
This was more of a scouting mission than a full hike, as I’m planning to walk the New River Path properly next week. After hearing from another hiker that the long-closed section over the M25 had recently reopened, I wanted to check it out for myself.
Rather than making this…
