Meet at Chingford Station Main Exit at 2.30pm on this Sunday 8th September to continue the epic Re/Walking of InspiralLondon Trail.

The short segment 24 rises quickly to one of the highspots of the trail at Pole Hill Obelisk – a wonderful vista across North London’s lakelands. Will we find the hollow oak or hear the whispering words of TE Lawrence as we plunge down the edge of Epping Forest hills to the crossing causeway over to Ponder’s End? Will the sheep be grazing on the reservoir banks? Will we hear bush crickets and bats as we pass through to Brimsdown and adventure onto the next segment to Hadleys Wood?
