FREE HIKE - Epping Forest Circular

This is approx., 21 km popular trail near Buckhurst Hill, Essex. We will meet outside Chingford Station at 10:30am. Those driving can park at E4 7QJ (free parking) but please meet at Chingford Station which is 7 mins away.

Epping Forest forms a direct green link between London and rural Essex and lends its name to a market town. Epping Forest has some ancient trees and English countryside at its best along the Essex Way. It is approx., 8000 acres of green space with ancient woodland, and other established habitats, which straddles the border between Greater London and Essex. It's a perfect place to be during summer with stunning wildlife.

The hike is expected to have hills and will be at a medium pace and is expected to finish by 6 pm or earlier and we can go to a pub near the station when we finish. Please make sure to wear hiking boots/shoes, a torch, carry at least 1 liter of water, and a packed lunch. The walk is completely free.

You are responsible for your own safety and for making sure that your actions don’t damage the people, animals, or environment around you. This is wholly a voluntary activity. No service/risk is inferred or accepted.

Please be respectful to fellow walkers.

Please note - The participants are expected to stay with or behind the hike / walk leader and not go ahead of him as this is important to maintain the pace of the group and keep the group together and to allow people behind to catch up.

Those who are continuously ‘No show’ for 2 or more times and have never been to my walks / hikes before will be removed from the group.
