n=5 started quite a bit delayed due to some gremlins on the Piccadilly Line in w=cold-but-dry weather.
There were quite a number of muddy stretches, all short in nature, but combined with our sparing use of head torches, a bit of awareness came in handy, especially as most were just wearing trainers.
The fenced path after the crossing of the single track railway was a tad overgrown with brambles, so we walked parallel to it through the 'Nature Reserve' (which looks like an ex-landfill?), and at The Hare & Hounds, votes were cast whether we should stop here (20 minutes before the end) or at the end. In we went.
Food delivery was a bit perplexing (i.e. 3 main courses, ordered at the same time, came about 20 minutes apart), but it is a nice pub with friendly staff, so all is forgiven.
1 then walked to a bus stop for his long-ish journey back home, while 4 walked on to Osterley tube.
