8 mile, Chiswick to Richmond Walk (Grp2)

Please meet in Station Approach Road by the exit from the platform of Chiswick railway station, ready to depart at 10:00.  The morning walk is via the yacht basin, alongside the River Thames, Brent Waters and through Syon Park to Old Isleworth where we'll have lunch. For our pub lunch (at your own expense), I have booked a table for 6 people, socially distanced from others, for you to buy lunch or you can bring a picnic to have by the Thames if you prefer. After lunch we continue alongside the Thames to Richmond Lock and it's Bridge, past the obelisks marking the original Meridian Line and on to Richmond. We will visit the remains of the Royal, Richmond Palace and it's current homes en-route to Richmond railway station where the walk ends. You may like to treat yourself to a cup of tea by the Thames before your journey home.  

Please note that there are two groups of 5 Spice members participating in this event - this group (Group 2) will 'follow in Linda's footsteps (the walk leader) at a socially safe distance' behind Group 1 before lunch. After lunch, Group 2 will walk with Linda as the advanced party while the 5 Spice members of Group 1 walk in our footsteps. Linda will keep both groups within her sight at all times.  

Please bring drinking water, a Covid-19 protective mask, your picnic lunch or money for a pub lunch, and any other drinks or snacks you may want.  

Limited to 5 walkers plus Linda to comply with Covid-19 rules. 

Please dress for the weather on the day. Your walk leader is Linda Richardson (07575 799909 for on the day), please ring or text if you are lost, late or can no longer attend.
