A circular walk of 10.5 miles in the metropolitan countryside of north London.

Features of the route centre around just how close to countryside the London suburbs are, and how quiet bits of Barnet can be. From an urban starting point, the route meanders around Moat Mount Open Space, dodges over Dollis Brook, fools around Folly Brook, pokes around Darlands Lake, gets a couple of big views of inner London from afar (and from slightly on high), before returning to the busy, gritty, grimy, tense and loud urban area near the station.

The route, including the lunch point, is exposed. Wear wind proofs and/or sun protection.

Wear sturdy boots. Expect some mud.

Bring packed snack, packed lunch, water and something to sit on. Lunch is late in the walk.

Optional coffee stop at the end of the walk.

Cafes available prior to the walk.

The start point is at a railway station.

This event is also advertised on Meetup.
