This walk is now over but we have left the walk info below in case you wish to replicate it yourself.
The original walk happened on: Sunday 8 July 2018 11am – 3pm.
Walk Description
A delightful walk starting at Southend Pier entrance and heading to Southchurch Park for a tea break, up to the Eastern Esplanade, through Gunners Car Park and through fields to Shoeburyness East Beach. The walk was followed by a delicious buffet picnic inspired by mouth-watering traditional Indian ethnic recipes, specially cooked by local Indian communities for this event. Participants were invited to bring their own food if they preferred, there was no charge to try the Indian delicacies.
Huge thanks to Nina Chavda and Manji Solanki for leading this walk and organising such a wonderful picnic.
