If your schedule and itinerary permits, do stop in at the Rye House in Hoddesdon.
(I have a family connection with the managers and may as well try to send a famous person their way!)

Did the exact same walk two years ago, DG, and it was most enjoyable with the bonus of seeing a kingfisher in full feeding mode.

As a resident of the Lea Valley myself, this should be fascinating to me.

Looking forward to what you have to say about the area of Bow Creek next to the gas works where The Lea meets the Thames. My Nan then aged 5 lived there (1886) - on the riverbanks as a mudlark I suppose.

Good call DG, you've picked a very enjoyable walk full of contrasts. I still find it somewhat strange that the source of the Lea is slap bang in the middle of Marsh Farm estate and not somewhere on a Bedfordshire hillside!
I split this walk over two days when I did it back in 2007 so thanks to you I'll now get to see just what I missed as I sped by at 3.5mph...

Oh fabulous. I love the Lea Valley (it's my nearest bit of wild space) and have walked and cycled quite a bit of it but not nearly enough.
Shall look forward to finding out more here.

Ooooh! I love these Local History Months!
My favourite, so far, has been the Piccadilly one, as I've actually been there, and could follow along (when I discovered it earlier this year) with the aide of Google Street View!
Can't wait to see what unfolds this month.

A little late to the party, but I'm looking forward to these, the Lea's my local as well. John Donne said that it was a boring man who could only spell words one way, so don't worry too much about flipping between Lea and Lee...
