Beautiful woodland with mainly deciduous trees and some areas of open and lots of brown features.
Technically challenging, especially in the eastern part of the woods where there is a complex matrix of paths and wet ditches. Considering how close Shooters Hill is to central London, it is a hilly area.
Registration online only in advance. Start Times: 11:00 to 12:30;
