A perfect evening for new members, or those who want to start British Summer Time at an easy pace.

Join me to celebrate the start of Spring as we navigate the pathways of the Regent and Grand Union Canals, from Camden to Kingsland, ending up with a pint in the Glory pub. This spring evening walk, independent of the busy streets above, will allow us to get away from manic London above, and share in the infamous Outdoor Lads community spirit. It will be a very intense couple of weeks towards the end of March/early April so lets get together and walk off the tension.

We'll start at Camden Lock, and walk along the towpath, past Kings Cross Station and St Pancras International, and then stroll along the canal heading east. We'll have to climb through the streets of Angel and Islington, but we can decend again just after and follow the canal towards Hoxton, where we'll end this evening perambulation ready for an evening nightcap or two at The Glory pub, on Kingsland Road. 

As its after work, it is best to change into something more relaxing for an evening with the Lads. But do wear sturdy shoes as we'll be walking on cobbles, and gravel and be dodging hefty joggers who use the canal towpath for a sweaty jog home. 

Also, do bring some water, as we can be most dehydrated in the evenings after work and when we've stepped off a stuffy train. 

Nearest Stations to the start - Camden Town (northern line).

Nearest stations at the end  - Haggerston/Hoxton on the Overground.
