Location Notes:

Meeting at the small car park at the end of Riverside (off the Barnet Rd, and in front of St Peter's church, AL2 1QA) or, if the car park is full, park the other side of the High St/Barnet Rd - in front of 'The Green Dragon' pub, and you can then walk under the bridge to join us in the car park. The shopping centre with Sainsbury's, Costa Coffee, M&S, etc is only about 1/4m away too with ample parking. When driving take the M25 J22 then turn left at the slip road roundabout signposted towards London Colney and continue along the Barnet Road, passing the Bull pub, cross over the bridge, and the car park is then immediately on your right (signposted Car Park & St Peters Church). Alternatively you can reach it easily from the N Orbital Rd A414 and drive right through London Colney High St. and the car park will then be on your left just before the bridge. The walk takes us through Willows Farm Village and towards Colney Heath passing a quarry (sometimes in action) - and is a fairly flat route so easy walking. Routes from this venue may include paved pathways, woodland footpaths, tracks and open fields and fairly flat. LOW LIKELIHOOD OF MEETING LIVESTOCK
