The Chairwoman and Secretary of the Army Benevolent Fund Middlesex Committee, set off last week on day 2 of their Hat-Trek walk in a cooler conditions from Ponders End. They walked along part of the Lea Valley, the River Lee being part of the old boundary of Middlesex and passed the Markham Museum, a building and surrounding grounds that has changed usage many times during its history.
Their walk encompassed Section 2 and 3 of the Lea Valley Walk. The variations in the river/canal during the walk were numerous, from the very old way marker '5 miles to Old Ford Lock', to the new homes and parks. The scenery was so varied with all the many and different boats moored up and on the move too. Their day finished at Clapton.
