Our first* outing for the 2025-26 season is a local one.
FEPS TRIPS SUNDAY SEPT 7TH
BRENT VALLEY
Most of us have driven along the Western Avenue towards Central London without noticing the adjacent tranquil Brent Valley. Join your colleagues on this FEPS TRIP to kick-start the new season.
An opportunity to slowly explore this parkland / wooded area for about 1 ½ –2 miles. You can easily while away a few hours photographing, grasses, a variety of trees, fallen trees, flowers, the River Brent, a scrape which attracts coots, moorhens and herons. The variety of flowers, grasses and bushes will vary according to season. You may well help yourselves to some blackberries on the way (if any are left).
We will meet at 10:30am opposite to the Lidl store in Ruislip Road East, Greenford. If travelling from Ruislip use the E7 bus to Greenford (Lidls’), if travelling from Northwood and Eastcote use the 282 bus (destination Ealing Hospital) to Greenford Broadway—then walk forward to cross the Greenford Road to Lidls’, if travelling from Sudbury use the 92 bus (Ealing Hospital) to Greenford Broadway—the walk forward to the traffic lights, turn left and go on to Lidl.
We will finish this part of the day by Hanwell F.C. (adjacent to the Perivale Underpass on the A40). Return by E5 bus to Greenford (Clifton Road), or walk to the roundabout and use E2, E7, E9 to return to Greenford (Clifton Road).
For those who wish to continue we will walk along pathways (after brief road walk) to St. Mary’s Church, Perivale; then on footpaths through the golf course, by the allotments and park to find The Duke of Kent pub for meal and drink. Return from there by E2 bus to Greenford (Clifton Road), or E9 bus to Greenford Broadway.
