The Old Red Wall Club was founded in 2009 by fifteen close friends, all of whom left the Senior School in 2006. Faced with the prospect of commencing careers and continuing university study further afield than Brentwood, the club was to provide a framework within which to remain close and to build on the members’ ambitions to help the community at large by raising money for charity.

Phase One | 06.30am START

All walkers are to muster in the car park of the ‘Holiday Inn London Kingston South’ on 13th April 19. This hotel is ideally located for the Thames Path and for an early start. This walk follows the Thames Path which ensures easy navigation, safe routes and excellent views. This is a comfortable toe path which leads us on to the ‘tideway’ at Teddington and finally to Barnes.

The support team will follow the walkers and meet at designated places. The support team can take supplies so you do not have to carry much at all.

Phase Two | Approx. 11.00am start

Phase Two starts at Barnes Bridge Railway as there are excellent links to the City and well suited for a break. The walk will become noticeably less rural at the start of this phase as we continue toward the City. If you wish to join the walk here you can walk for as long or as little as you wish but it is 20 miles (approx.) to Greenwich.

Preparations

It is imperative that training walks are undertaken for this walk. 30 miles is a great distance and needs to be taken seriously. Appropriate footwear and cold weather clothing should be prepared.

Support crews

It is intended to organise a support team who will be on hand to provide water stops, first aid equipment and general support. If you do not wish to walk but would like to volunteer your time, this would be welcomed.

Further information will follow once interest is registered. We hope you can join us on our adventure.
