Fancy a walk near some water? Well the next Ramble will be a walk along the Grand Union canal from Watford to Apsley (near Hemel Hempstead).

Although it is nearly all along the canal, it is a walk with varied scenery. Total distance is about 6.5 miles. We will stop for refreshments half way at the Kings Lodge in Hunton Bridge.  The walk is mostly flat and the towpath is mainly hard paths, but some sections may be muddy, depending on weather conditions.

Meet at : Watford station (Metropolitan Line) at 10.45am.

The walk will finish at Apsley station, from where we will take the train back to Harrow & Wealdstone (cost £5.40). Various train/bus/tube options to get home from there.

There is also an option to shorten the walk by getting the train from Kings Langley after 4.5 miles.

As you know, we have to limit numbers on rambles to 20 people. It is on a first come basis, so please email Jasia if you wish to come on this ramble. I will notify all on the mailing list if the ramble is full, and keep a waiting list if necessary.
