CANCELLED Eeel Pie Island, Twickenham to Richmond

[Ian Stedman]

Hi,

As discussed, a Thames walk covering Twickenham to Richmond, taking in one of the few Eel Pie Island open days, hence the limited dates. Pick all dates you could attend.

There is Hammerton's ferry, a small boat service we could use to cross the Thames.

Want to point out Pubs were convenient markers for planning via Google maps. The Wetherspoons in Twickenham might be a worthy lunch spot. Last time I was here, I went to Greggs, got some food and sat along the riverbank.

When & where
It does get busy, recommend being there for 11am @ Eel pie Island.
Take regular trains to Waterloo East, walk to Waterloo and take a train to Teddington or Strawberry Hill.
Perhaps we meet at Waterloo around 10am?

I don't have visibility of planned engineering works this far ahead, so may change.

Which dates suit you?

You can select up to 4 options.

Saturday 29th June

Sunday 30th June

Saturday 6th July

Sunday 7th July

I have tried and tested meal at Barmy Arms and recall good food and value

But no guarantees

Sunday 7th July was the most popular date, let's aim for that date.

South Western trains do not list any engineering works after the middle of June at the moment, so will re-check in a month's time.

Why do you always find the pubs Barrie?

Hi,

Just over two week to go until this outing. Who is planning to attend?

Crap, bus replacement trains on the Orpington line :(
