**CANCELLED** Hyde Park - Sun, 23 Nov 2014, 12:00 Noon

[Dinkum]

I can't believe that this is the 4th time I am planning the Hyde Park walk. The Winter Wonderland Market starts on Friday, 21 November and it's always fun to stop there and have a cup of mulled wine after the walk and have a further catch up with friends, old and new. Last year, we even managed to walk a rather busy market with a few dogs and had lunch there too. The boys certainly enjoyed their fish and chips after a busy afternoon.

Register your attendance here, if you fancy coming along.

We'll meet again at the entrance to Kensington Gardens (Palace Walk) on Sunday at 12:00. It is at the crossing with Kensington High Street and Palace Walk. There is a coffee vendor with outside tables at the gate where we meet. The entrance is directly opposite Palace Gate Road and there are a rack of Boris bikes opposite the coffee Shop.

The closest tube station is Kensington High Street and it is a step only station, so no escalators for little paws. It is serviced by the District and Circle Lines which connect all the major overground services. You can find a suitable tube map here. If you are coming into Liverpool Str, Euston, Kings X, Marylebone, you and catch the Circle line, you will need to change at Edgware Road onto a different Circle Line train or District Line train to High Street Ken. It's a 0.4 mile walk from the Tube station to the meeting point.

I thought I would give this walk a little bump as it is fast approaching.

As I am not going to be able to make the walk, and Kate cannot host it either, I have had to cancel it. Maybe next year.
