Hainult Forest - 3.4 miles

A canopy of trees

5:00pm Wednesday 16th January 2008

IT'S over five years since I last visited Hainault Forest for this series (walks 9 & 12) and I intend to remedy my neglect with at least three walks over the next two months or so.

Covent Garden - 1.8 miles

The Royal Courts of Justice

11:38am Friday 4th January 2008

THIS is a deceptively short walk which has all kinds of temptations built into it.

The Owl pub to Fernhills

TRUELOVE'S and Fernhills are relatively recent acquisitions for Epping Forest, the latter being purchased in 1997.

Hatfield Forest - 4.8 miles

Will Self leads the way

In September the Stop Stansted Expansion Campaign (SSE) organised a Runway Ramble' through Hatfield Forest.

The poets' walk - Lippits Hill

Elmwood at stage two

4:02pm Wednesday 7th November 2007

THIS WALK runs along little known Bridleways which give two fantastic views across Herts and Essex.

4:46pm Wednesday 31st October 2007

In August, I joined 32 members of the Havering and East London Group Ramblers on their regular Tuesday morning walk.

Dunstable Downs - five miles

The Nave of the Tree Cathedral

2:00pm Monday 22nd October 2007

The astonishing Dunstable Downs form the Eastern extremity of the Chiltern Hills, it is therefore appropriate that the new state-of-the-art Bedfordshire County Council/National Trust visitor facility should be called the Chilterns Gateway Centre.

Totternhoe, Bedfordshire - 7.4miles

Kite flying on the Downs

4:10pm Wednesday 17th October 2007

WE start the walk from the village of Totternhoe, and walk through the nature reserve which comprises the Totternhoe Knolls to visit the earthworks on Castle Hill which are the remains of a late 11th or 12th C castle.

Connaught Waters - four miles

Cattle can be seen along the way

5:27pm Wednesday 10th October 2007

TAKING really young children for a walk can require a lot of planning. If you have one of those posh and expensive all-terrain buggies you can go practically anywhere but there are great limitations for the ordinary pushchair.

Lee Valley (part two) - 3.7 miles

The Cornmill Stream

4:25pm Wednesday 3rd October 2007

The second Lee Valley Walk in conjunction with the Lee valley Park's 40th anniversary was designed by Eric Wilton, Senior Ranger.
