Walk
Distance: 15 miles
We join the Thames Estuary Path today, with a side trip to the Wat Tyler Country Park too.
Afterwards, we walk through Corringham and Stanford-le-Hope.
To all walkers
There are two official meeting locations per day, one is at the start and the other is near the walk mid-point.
Mile numbers that the sections correspond to are next to the times below. Please arrive 20 minutes beforehand to avoid delaying the walk departure.
If you only wish to walk your one-mile stretch and walk along with the walking party as it comes through your section, please confirm this with the Project Coordinator who will be sending all walkers some detailed emails in the next few weeks. If you don’t receive any emails about the walks, please email sarah@kinetika.co.uk
Please only attend the walks if you have booked.

InspiralLondon are looking after this day of the programme under the direction of founder Charlie Fox.
InspiralLondon facilitates and curates artworks, research and interventions that interrogate the city and its hinterlands, with particular focus on: placemaking, experience culture and emotional capitalism, urban ecology and sustainable futures, community and well-being.
“Walking, a practice of on the ground mapping, allows us to imagine together other cities, different times, and worlds, as we confront the reality of our ever-changing metropoles.” Charlie Fox
