Evening Walk: Waterlink Way -- Greenwich to Catford

Evening Walk:  Waterlink Way -- Greenwich to Catford t=short.36

Transport: Take the 18.22 train from Cannon Street (London Bridge 18.27 & Deptford 18.33), arrives Greenwich 18.35. Meet outside the station building through the main entrance. Various return trains to London from Catford or Catford Bridge.

Distance:  4.7 miles/7.6 km 

Difficulty: None

I have noticed that evening walk attendance has been a bit low recently...... I do hope to see some of you on this week's outing..... A non-taxing and mud-free amble along the Waterlink Way, starting in Greenwich and ending in Catford.  Please note that we will be doing a portion of the Lower Sydenham to Greenwich walk in reverse.......


In more detail: from Greenwich Mainline via the Cutty Sark to the Thames, west along the river to Deptford Creek, then follow the Waterlink Way upriver along the creek and The Ravensbourne River through Deptford, St. John’s, Lewisham and Ladywell to Catford and its stations, with The Catford Bridge Tavern for post-walk food and drink. You can drop out of the walk at various points along the way......

n=7 made for a nice group on this evening outing -- especially as one attendee brought some supplies to ensure adequate hydration which was enjoyed along the Thames with nice views of the Cutty Sark and Canary Wharf. The walk author tried to take us astray at one point -- but one of the local attendees set us straight. All enjoyed a drink or meal at the Catford Tavern before setting off home. An enjoyable night out in w=dry-mild-conditions.
