25 May 2023 - The first Ladies Day Krawl since September 2019 was enjoyed by all 23
attendees. Half of the party travelled up by train from Hayes meeting the others outside Greenwich
station. Our President, Prof Chris, led us down towards Deptford Creek and the riverside walk. Retracing a bit
of the krawl we arrived at the Cutty Sark before ascending though Greenwich and Blackheath parks to arrive at
The Princess of Wales for a welcome pint. We then made our way towards The Richard 1st pub
via the western path which many of us have never been down. A mostly enjoyable meal was had, albeit served very
slowly, before we travelled back from wence we came. About 4 and a half miles.
Attendees: Chris (President) & Sheila, BN, Drew, Rae & Sjoukje, Jim & Pauline, Dave C,
Dave & Rita with Ray & Chris, Roger & Dof, Dave A, Kate, Hazel, Judy, Annie, PohLeng - Ken &

27 April 2023 - Chelsfield and Environs. The President of the day, Drew, met us in the car
park of The Bo Peep, with a little snifter before we set of for a very pleasant krawl. A few vicious
styles greeted us within the first few minutes but the remainder had no major hills and very little mud. We
made our way to The Five Bells in Chelsfield and enjoyed a pint in the fresh air. Back at The Bo
Peep we were joined by Phil and Dave C. A most enjoyable meal followed and we were treated to all of the
drinks by a kind benefactor from his recent Lottery win. Our guest, Colin Rowe, was nominated to join our
little group which he readily accepted. 6.4 miles in total.
Present: Drew (President), BN & Colin Rowe (guest), Jim, Gareth, Chris, Roger, Dave A & W
plus Phil & Dave C for lunch (8+1+2=11)
Apologies: John, Ponti, Ken, Rae, Martin, Stan and Apples (7)
30 March 2023 - A Krawl around Westerham. Nine were greeted by the President of the
Day, Apples, in the car park just west of Westerham. A rugged, muddy day saw them make their way to
Chartwell for a, mostly coffee stop. They then made their way back and duly arrived at The King's Arms
Hotel bang on 13:30. Thirteen sat down to another enjoyable lunch and all seemed reluctant to go home...
around 6 miles in total.
Present: Apples (President), Drew, Phil, Gareth, Chris, Roger, Martin, Dave's A & W - Ponti,
John, Ken & BN joined for lunch (9+4=13)
Apologies: Rae, Fred, Stan, Dave C, Jim (5)
23 February 2023 - Around Otford. Ten krawlers were introduced
to our guest, Colin Rowe, who is well known to the Blackheath & HF contingent. Having met at The
Bull Oxted they were seen off by BN who was not able to krawl. The krawl was rugged with some steep
inclines and a lot of steps, such that the aimed for half-way house, The Woodman, although viewed was
not used. During the krawl the President introduced members to the Otford Solar System. BN returned
for lunch along with Ken, so thirteen dined, good food, good company and with exceptional service from the
staff. Just under 6 miles in total.
Present: John Butler (President), Drew, Jim, Dave A, Dave W, Chris, Gareth, Rae, Martin, Rae plus
Colin Rowe (guest) - BN & Ken joined for lunch (10+1+2=13)
Apologies: Phil, Ponti, Stan, Fred, Dave C and Apples (6)
26 January 2023 - Knockholt. With more than normal on holiday only seven met at The
Three Horseshoes in Knockholt. After a quick and welcome snifter we were off towards the half-way
house... but we weren't as The Harrow was not going to open until 16:00! So, change of plan,
extend the first leg, obvious really. A couple of styles said Dave, well I lost count after 10, and to think he
worked in a Bank. Plenty of mud meant that shoes needed cleaning. Wasn't freezing but was quiet fresh and we
were pleased to get back and into the warm. The food was good and the intimate nature
made for a great day with good fellowship. 5.2 miles in total.
Present: Dave White (President), BN, Jim, Drew, Phil, Dave Arnold, Roger (7)
Apologies: Apples, Rae, Stan, Chris, Gareth, Ken, John, Dave C, Fred, Ponti (10)
