p175 Getting Started The stile referred to in the text has apparently now gone.
p.175 From Hanwell to Greenford Bridge ROUTE: The configuration of paths seems to have changed somewhat since publication. Des de Moor, who has recently walked the route, suggests the following as an improved description from Bullet point 5: - Cross the bridge and turn immediately right alongside the river bank on a well-defined sandy track which soon drifts away from the riverside and through trees.
- At the next path junction, follow the main sandy track left then right, passing the golf course.
- After passing through a patch of woodland, branch right to reach a footbridge.
- Cross it and turn immediately left along the broad sandy path again. This soon climbs slightly to follow a line of trees on a low ridge parallel to the river.
- Continue on the path which eventually descends to run between the river and a sports pitch, to reach the road beside Greenford Bridge.
FACILITIES: Entrance to the Hanwell Zoo is no longer free
Also, and perhaps rather inevitably in the current climate, Hanwell Zoo now charges admission.
