SUMMARY:Walk the Mardyke
DESCRIPTION:Walk the Mardyke.   \nJohn Churchill walk leader guides us on this unique walk along the Mardyke river from its mouth at Purfleet up to Ockenden. On Sunday 9th October meeting at Purfleet Station at 11\,30 am. SIGN UP HERE \nDue to National Train Strike this walk has been moved to the Sunday – 9th October.  You can use  C2C trains  running from Liverpool Street 10.45 (11 am) Stratford 11.07 Barking 11.22 arriving at Purfleet 11.35. To return in the afternoon to central London from Ockenden train or bus to Upminster.(and Liv.Street.) There will be rail replacement buses to Upminster or we can use the regular bus service to Upminster Station. \nThe Mardyke is a river in Thurrock that runs from Brentwood to the Thames at Purfleet….about 16 miles.   A strange but true fact …….the Mardyke is a much older river in geological times than the Thames. But of course\, of much less significance now! \n \nOn the Mardyke near Davy Down (Image curtesy John Churchill)\nBarges would use the river to take produce from the Essex Fens to the Port of London. Being a very low lying river\, moving ever so slowly\, it is prone to floods and after a period of heavy rain this walk would be impossible to complete. The Mardyke Trail\,a public footpath follows the river for most of its length (except for the first mile from Purfleet). An amazing landscape of contrasts. One moment you could be in the deep country of Suffolk…..and the next in the world of J.G.Ballard’s ‘Concrete Island’. Davy Down is in a nature reserve\, with its ‘heritage’ pumping station and viaduct; where there is a cafe for walkers to stop for refreshments. There is also a pub\, conveniently sited at the very end of the walk. \nMeeting on Sunday 9th October – You can use  C2C trains  running from Liverpool Street 10.45 (11 am) Stratford 11.07 Barking 11.22 arriving at Purfleet 11.35. To return in the afternoon to central London from Ockenden train or bus to Upminster (Liverpool Street) There will be rail replacement buses on Sunday to Upminster or we can use the regular bus service to Upminster Station. \nCome prepared for rural walk and with refreshments/picnic lunch to enjoy in the autumn display. Lead  guide contact for day John on 07398216521. \n

SUMMARY:London Southern Marshlands Walk - From Gravesend to Cyberman.
DESCRIPTION:From Gravesend across London’s Southern Marshlands to QE 2 Bridge (To meet a Cyberman)\n\n\nAnother unique InspiralLondon walk and exploration through South London Marshlands from the origins of the in/spiral at Gravesend to the foundations of Queen Elisabeth Bridge at Dartford.\n \nJoin the inspiralLondon Team for our penultimate autumn walk: \nWe will meet at 11 am sharp outside Gravesend mainline Rail Station to walk to the Gravesend Pier and start of the Inspiral trail. Then joining the Thames Path and through the site of Rosherville Pleasure Gardens encountering the last dancing bear of England. After\, the route then becomes quite industrial wending through Northfleet\, haunted by the remnants of cement industry\, before reaching Swanscombe Marsh (recently made a SSSI protected by Natural England)\, one of the most bio-diverse parts of the city’s watery commons. Passing Botany Marsh Northfleet (to the north part of Swanscombe Marsh peninsula). This marsh and former quarry site is home of rare invertbrates like the jumping spider and numerous other hidden species. Swanscombe Marsh also retains the ghostly memory of our prehistoric origin. From there we walk along the fringe of the Thames to the looming arch of Queen Elisabeth Bridge where a surprising encounter awaits with the Last Cyberman on Earth. \nThe end is the beginning which is also the end the truth is there is only one path which is defined by the end which is also the beginning (Cyber-song). Reversing the walk we took this time last year we find ourselves destined for a rendezvous with the Last Cyberman on Earth at the foot of the QE2 bridge. Essex artist Ralph Overill has forged a virtual entanglement with this denizen of the capitalist edges\, exploring his connection to wildernesses and wastelands – landscapes at the periphery of\, or between\, places. Ralph will begin the end of our walking ritual in symbiotic union between monster and margin. \nThis walk will take around five hours including stops. The Thames footpath runs out from Gravesend\, then to end at Dartford (Bridge Development area) passing through the old Littlebrook power station site to return south – for buses to Dartford or back to Gravesend. \nThis exploratory Hydrodetour is another collaboration between InspiralLondon and UEL Visual Arts foundation and InspiralLondon Associate artists and Ralph Overill. \nThis developing entanglement of the UEL Art Foundation encounter with InspiralLondon is part of their continuing Cultural Landscapes walks: “This process based student project is an example of how intuitive research can enfold us into a material tapestry of collective understanding” Dr Mikey Georgeson.
