Upcoming dates for your diary
19 July – a walk led by Mariama
The route from Tonbridge takes us through park land, fields, and meadows, to visit All Saints Tudeley, the only church to have all its windows designed by Russian artist Marc Chagall. From there we cross farmland to St Thomas a Beckett church in Capel. During restoration in 1927 the builders uncovered 800 year old wall paintings featuring classic biblical scenes. Lunch is at the nearby George and Dragon pub. The walk continues through orchards and on country lanes, eventually joining the Medway River Walk back to Tonbridge.
The walking is fairly easy, but you will need to be able to walk the full distance: once out of Tonbridge there are no buses to cut the route short. The fields could be muddy so robust footwear is advised.
We will meet at Charing Cross station under the departure board at 9am to catch the 9.15 train to Hastings. You will need a super off-peak day return to Tonbridge. Some may choose to join at Waterloo East or London Bridge.
Freedom Pass holders can buy a ticket from Orpington.
Please contact Mimi if you are planning to come, by Wednesday 11 June at the latest, so we can be sure of a table at the pub.
The small print
The group works on the same basis as would a group of friends who go out walking together, inviting others to join them.
Everyone taking part does so at their own risk. SJP and the walk leaders assume no responsibility for anyone attending any Walking Boots event. They will not be held responsible for any accident, injury or loss occurring as a result of any Walking Boots event or in connection with travel to such event, however caused. By joining a walk, you indicate that you accept these conditions.Outdoor activities frequently need specialist equipment (boots, waterproofs, etc) and the group does not provide these. You are responsible for assessing your own risk and the suitability of any equipment used. You may want to alert the walk leader to any medical condition that may affect you during the walk. The walk leader may, at their discretion, encourage you not to join the walk if in their opinion you are ill-equipped for the terrain and weather conditions.
We usually visit a pub or café for lunch. You are responsible for alerting the eating establishment to any food allergies you may have. Anyone under the age of 18 must be accompanied by a parent, grandparent etc or guardian.
Dogs are usually welcomed on walks. You are encouraged to check with the leader whether the proposed walk is suitable for dogs.
