Walking the River Wandle Trail, Colliers Wood to Carshalton

Come and join me and Keith Slaughter on a lovely 5 mile walk following the River Wandle starting at Sainsbury's near Colliers Wood Tube Station and ending up at The Hope Pub near Carshalton Station walking. distance approx 5 miles.

We will meet at Sainsbury's Savacentre on Merton High Street at 11am for coffee and will start our walk 11.30-11.45am { to get to Sainsbury's Merton, you come out of Colliers Wood Station, and walk straight along the high street, cross over the traffic lights, and keep walking till you see Sainsbury's on your left, walk over the bridge into Sainsbury's go up the escalator and the café is on the left at the top of the escalator.}

Our walk will take us along river paths, passing water mills and weirs, and with plenty of wildlife to see, so time will be allowed to take photographs.

We will visit the wetlands board walk which is worth seeing, and will have a 30 minute break at the café in Morden Hall Park, where toilets are also available.

After our break we will carry on along the Wandle Trail ending up at Carshalton Ponds where we leave the Wandle and make our way to The Hope Pub for a late lunch { please confirm if you want lunch as I need to book it}

With Carshalton Station being less than 5 minutes away with trains going direct to Victoria and London Blackfriars or Sutton{ where you can change to go to London Bridge}

If is advisable to wear walking boots, as some of the paths can get quite muddy, and if you have a knee problem or walk slow this walk is definitely not for you.

It would also be advisable to bring a nibble along if you want to as we will only be having a short stop in the café.
