From Marx to Keats

John's second 2001 London walk

Highgate and Hampstead

11:30 SATURDAY 23 June 2001

PUT THIS DATE IN YOUR DIARY NOW!!!

Meet at 11:30 at Highgate tube station (Northern Line), ready to start walking at 11:45. If you're late, or miss us, phone my mobile (07946-090105) and we'll arrange to meet you elsewhere.

The walk will probably finish at Hampstead tube station, though it's quite easy (but a long way) to walk back over Hampstead Heath to Highgate tube station. About 7 miles walking with stops for drinks on the way.

Choices:

  • round Highgate only (3 miles)
  • round Highgate, across the Heath, to Hampstead tube (5 miles)
  • round Highgate, across the Heath, round Hampstead, to Hampstead tube (7 miles)

WARNING: Parts of Hampstead Heath may be wet and/or muddy. Don't wear your best Gucci shoes or your trailing bell-bottom trousers!

Bring with you: this information; comfortable shoes (the walk is on roads apart from over Hampstead Heath); friends, relatives, children; sunglasses / sun-cream / waterproofs / umbrella (as this is England, you're likely to need all of these in the same day!); camera, binoculars; a bottle of water, snacks, money, and A-Z. Most importantly, bring food for lunch, or buy something in Highgate (we'll be stopping for drinks, but not to buy a meal in a restaurant or pub).

It's not absolutely essential, but it would be useful to know who is expecting to come on the walks. Please email John Dawson, or phone 01462-893410.

There is no charge for coming on these walks. If you wish to make a charitable donation, the
Cambridge Cancer Help Centre
would be my choice (they can accept CAF cheques).
