    8 on time, 1 other delayed, 1 other more delayed (both due to an earlier Jubilee Line suspension), i.e. 10 in warm and sticky weather.

    Nice walking along the River Brent/Grand Union Canal (they are the same waterbody on this stretch) and across a lock, then there is a 3 minute stretch of rather claustrophobic path parallel to an indistrial single track railway line and a bit of M4 noise, and then some actually quite interesting semi-wilderness. The pub (Fuller's) is quite good, about half of people ordered a meal, eaten outside under the Heathrow flight path. 4 moved on after a drink to beat the darkness, the rest kind of achieved that as well.

    Oh, we saw a large herd of albino cows...

    Hope to go on this. For future reference, doing the walk in reverse and having The Fox Hanwell as the pub would be better.

    To encourage more people to go on these evening jaunts, could we get a brief report, perhaps,and numbers? Thanks.
