Looking like another sunny Friday tomorrow! We are going to meet directly at the Waterworks Nature Reserve (the one with the bird hides) at 10am so we won't be outside the pub as usual. If you haven't been before then when you get there go through the gate and across the bridge to get into the reserve. It's approximately 10-15 min walk along Lea Bridge Road from the pub. https://www.visitleevalley.org.uk/en/content/cms/nature/nature-reserve/waterworks-nature-reserve-midd/ -a-visit See you there! X

The Lee Valley Regional Park stretches an incredible 26 miles along the leafy banks of the River Lee, from Ware in Hertfordshire, through Essex, to the Thames at East India Dock Basin.

Looking forward to Friday FK tomorrow - think we'll head to the horses and then blackberry picking on Leyton Marsh (but meeting at 10 outside the pub as usual). See you there!
