Saturday, 12 February 2022 - PECKHAM RYE CIRCULAR VIA BURGESS PARK - 5 miles- Leaders: Eileen S & Roger A

An easy paced walk starting at Peckham Rye station. Along the path of the former Surrey Canal to Burgess Park and Chumleigh Gardens (possible cafe stop); then back to the station via some of Peckham's green spaces. Involves some road walking.
