    Description

    The Hackney Society is organising a 20 kilometre sponsored walk to raise money for its future publications programme. It will take us to the Lea Valley in early May, when the cow parsley is lacy and glorious. As a bonus to walkers, there will be a knowledgeable guide to enhance the day.

    Our walk will start at the heart of Hackney – at St Augustine's Tower, with refreshments – and will take us via Well Street Common, Victoria Park, Fish Island and the Olympic Park to the path along Old River Lea beside Hackney Marshes. After that, the Middlesex Filter Beds and over Walthamstow Marsh to the Walthamstow Reservoirs with two fascinating historic buildings: the Copper Mill and the Marine House.

    Then back along the Lea Navigation to finish at Springfield Park. The walk weaves in and out of Hackney, and offers the most glorious and surprising landscapes our borough can offer. You don't have to be a birdwatcher to enjoy this, but if you bring binoculars you should see plenty of birdlife.

    The walk will be led by Lea Valley expert Laurie Elks and will include an introduction to the Walthamstow Wetlands project.

    PLEASE BRING A PACKED LUNCH - there will be a planned stop for this.

    An old-fashioned sponsor form has been delivered with the latest paper issue of Spaces. An e-version is available here for you to print out or you can fundraise online with Virgin Money Giving.

    Meet at 9.30am for refreshments at St Augustine's Tower, E8 1HR, for a 10am start.

    FAQ

    • I have not received my Strictly for the Birds? ticket via email. What should I do?

      The first thing to do is check your spam/junk filters and inboxes. Your Strictly for the Birds? tickets were sent as an attachment and can be thought of as spam by some email services. Alternatively, you can always find your Strictly for the Birds? tickets in your Billetto account that you can access in the browsers or the dedicated Billetto app. For more help with this, read here.

    • I wish to cancel my Strictly for the Birds? ticket and receive a refund. What should I do?

      The approval of refunds is entirely at the event organiser’s discretion, and you should get in contact with the event organiser to discuss what options are available to you. To get in touch with the event organiser, simply reply to your order confirmation email or use the "Contact organiser" form on the organiser's profile. For more help with this, read here.

    • I have registered on the Strictly for the Birds? waiting list, what happens now?

    • Where do I find a link to an online event?

      Check your order confirmation page or order confirmation email. Usually, the organiser of the event provides the details in the order confirmation email or they might send you a follow-up email with a link to their online event. You might also want to read the event description on Billetto where an event organiser should describe how to join the Strictly for the Birds? event online. For more information on this, read here.

    • What is refund protection and why would I need it?
