Wed 15 May 2019 - 6 miles - REGENTS CANAL WALK - CAMDEN TOWN TO LIMEHOUSE - Leader: Martin F

A leisurely walk from Camden Town through meadow like surroundings along the canal path to Limehouse Basin and the Thames. Care and a good balance is needed to pass under low bridges and along the canal at bridge pathways. Despite some cyclists and runners this is a surprisingly country like walk away from the urban sprawl. Lunch: Cafes and pubs at Broadway Market by the canal is the ideal stop. Picnic by the canal.
