Richmond Park Short Walk T=Short.7
Distance: Approximately
4.4 miles or 7.6 km for those more metrically minded
Difficulty: 2 out of 10
Meet: In front of the Richmond train station
Travel: 18:20
South Western Reading bound train from London Waterloo, arriving at Richmond
at 18:36. Richmond is also reachable on the District Line. Return trains and
tube run frequently.
This walk takes a varied route first along the
Thames river, then past the impressive Ham House before entering Richmond Park.
Once in the park, the route climbs the escarpment for some fine views across
the Thames valley.
Please ensure you keep a safe distance from any deer spotted in Richmond Park and do NOT feed them.
Various options exist for post walk drinks and/or
meal…..so, hopefully, we can improve on last Thursday’s refreshment options….possibly even going inside....
No more groups of 6! However, to facilitate the collection of contact details, please pre-register for this walk on the "events" page at https://www.lwug.co.uk/. You will need to first sign-on and possibly register if you have not previously registered on the site.
If you test positive for COVID within a week of attending this walk, please contact me by emailing covid@lwug.co.uk.
More information about the route can be found here.
Enjoy the walk!

Four looked forlornly at the showers streaming down outside from just inside the Richmond station exit at the appointed time.....and decided to wait a spell before setting off...Eventually the skies cleared and we set off soon to meet a later arrival, making for n=5 in what turned out to be an w=idyllic-evening-sunshine stroll along the Thames with a finale up the escarpment in Richmond Park, pausing to take a look at St. Paul's from "the Mount" view point. En route, one of the party interestingly demonstrated how to pick and eat the tip of a nettle...which is apparently very tasty (though the full mature leaves are toxic). Returning to the river, 4 opted to visit the White Cross for a drink and snack where we enjoyed the unusual pleasure of sitting in a warm and dry environment inside with a great view of the Thames.
