Regency London: A NEW London walk, led by bereaved dad, Terry on Saturday 17th June.
The walk will start at Paddington station, meeting at 10.45 am for an 11 am prompt start. Walking along the Regents Canal through Little Venice then on to Warwick Avenue to explore the architecture in this little known part of London. The route eventually reaches Regents Park where we will visit the impressive rose gardens & other floral displays.
There are several cafes and restaurants where we stop for lunch, and a park for those wishing to bring a packed lunch.
The walk will cover approximately 5 miles and we should finish around 4pm at Baker Street with it’s many train and tube connections. For those who wish to there will be the option to join Terry for a well earned drink at a nearby pub.
Terry has chosen this date as it’s the day before Father’s Day, providing the opportunity for bereaved parents to come together and feel supported at what can be a difficult time of year.
As this is an urban walk, places will be limited to 30 people for safety of all walkers so please book early if you would like to be with us.
If you haven’t walked with us before, please don’t feel daunted or apprehensive about joining on your own. You will very quickly find yourself in a friendly, supportive community of others who are similarly bereaved and understand.
The walks offered by TCF are free and are designed to offer you an opportunity to socialise and chat to other bereaved parents and siblings as well as to offer some exercise to support our mental and physical wellbeing. However, you can if you wish give a voluntary donation at the time you book or at www.tcf.org.uk/donate
Our walks are approximately 5 miles at a steady pace and unfortunately will not be suitable for individuals who require an aid for walking.
Please also note that if you bring along a friend or relative with you for initial support, they will be unable to join us for the walk itself unless they are also a bereaved parent or adult bereaved sibling.
