2024 outings please read and vote

Hi,

I'm gathering the interest in outings using opinion polls on the forum. You can vote for any that you are interested in in this topic and if there is sufficient interest (probably 4 or more persons), I'll split further details out into another topic.

I've previously announced plans for Canada Heights and Brick lane, more details to follow shortly. The other, proposed outings are.

Seaside outing to Folkestone or Another

Folkestone has undergone a transformation the past 5-10 years, the old railway station at the docks has been developed into an arts venue and there were a number of street vendors, when I visited in 2019.

Best time June to Mid-July or September.

 Return to Lee Valley

Checking for events, nothing detailed as yet.

September, if a big event is on.

 Around the other half of the Isle of Dogs

Last year a few of us completed the western side of the Isle of Dogs, this time we would cover the eastern side. Start at Canary Wharf station and walk around to Island Gardens, on the eastern side.

Best times, April to end of June or September to October.

 Thames Walk, Twickenham to Richmond

Needs a little refinement but starting at Twickenham, cover part of the town centre, then walk along the Thames to Richmond. It's quite flat and a few less built up than the areas nearer to us.

Best time April to end of May.

Vote for all the ones you are interested in to help me gauge interest.

Which ones interest you?
You can select up to 4 options.

Hi,

Planning underway with some potential dates to follow soon. A few quick updates.

1) No major event at Lee Valley Whitewater as the Olympic are on this year!
2) For the Thames walk, I've got Twickenham to Richmond pencilled in. Would combining with an Eel pie island (at Twickenham) open day be of interest?
Take a look here: https://www.eelpieislandartists.co.uk/ Dates would be 29th/30th June and 6/7th July.
