Bad Weather Plan

The weather forecast is notoriously wrong most of the time and the forecast has been changing all week, at the moment its predicting rain on both days. Light rain isn't a problem if its warm, as the tree canopy at the site is quite broad and we've successfully sheltered from showers there many times before. Heavy rain all day on both days seems unlikely but if the worst comes to the worst the Wells Tavern in Well Walk is the nearest pub to the site and on the road between the Heath and Hampstead Tube. This has before served as a temp shelter from bad weather, I suggest heading there if it raining too hard. Other than that...... :)

Everyone visualise sunny weather....

Zippy Picnic Directions

The Zippy Picnic is held every first weekend in June in a vale across the pond from viaduct bridge (in bottom picture, taken from the site). Bring food and drink to share, musical instruments to play or anything you think should be there. This years picnic is held in memory of its founder Fraser Clark, everyone is welcome.

Directions from Hampstead Tube - turn left out of station, left again into Flask Walk, continue into Well Walk, past Well pub, and straight up and across road into Heath.
Walk for several minutes through Heath until you reach a large crossroads, with an open space playing field on your right and water trough on your left. Turn left and walk to the bridge.
Look across the pond to your left, thats the site, to reach it walk down the slope before you got to the bridge, and walk round the edge of pond. See Map Photo below.
