Autum walk from the wood to the River

On Sunday 17th September there will be a chance to explore the sites of ancient rites, apparitions, folklore and natural wonders with Pagan Federation South East London and South East London Folklore Society. Join them for a Sunday afternoon picnic and stroll along part of the Green Chain Walk, from Oxleas Woods to the Thames Barrier.

The walk starts at Oxleas Wood (meet by the café at 1pm) and finishes by the Thames, and will wander through the ancient woodland of Oxleas and the hideaways of highwaymen before taking in the site of Charlton's notorious Horn Fair (where apparently men `quite frequently wore women's clothes and amused themselves by striking women encountered on the fairground with sprigs of furze') and stopping to picnic near Charlton House, haunted Jacobean mansion. Then onwards for deer and peacock-spotting and over a Roman hill fort before passing a modern stone circle on the way to the Thames.

It's also international Chalk4Peace weekend, so people are encouraged to bring chalks if they feel so inclined.

    "OUR STREETS 'R OUR MEDIA -WE have TOTAL access"

    The pavements are an untapped media resource through which we ordinary
    peace loving folk can share our messages, hopes, dreams, ideas and
    create a new momentum towards peace - at a certain point there is
    critical mass in the cultural conversation which transforms into
    ACTION

    We CAN Make THE Difference!

    THE WEEK OF SEPTEMBER 15th to 23rd Chalk4Peace!

    You are invited to Take Action! - ("Scroll down for WHAT CAN YOU DO?")
    To Participate in this GLOBAL outpouring of public art. Where we
    makeour personal statements for peace on the pavements and sidewalks
    of our cities all over our world.

    Chalk4Peace IS HAPPENING!

    All around the globe, together we are decorating, dedicating and
    declaring, in deep sincerity our collective call for peace.

    Chalk4Peace is about our empowerment. We The People, our global
    culture, all people everywhere and our common desire to live in peace.

    The Chalk4Peace project has already transformed the experience of
    thousands of people attending demonstrations for peace all over the
    world during the past 4 years. Chalk4Peace is both a tool and a
    conduit for non violent public self expression, and participation in
    the growing global movement for peace.

    Chalk4Peace is an opportunity for all of us of all ages to make our
    feelings known, especially the young, whose future is in dire jeopardy
    as our global village falls faster and faster into the fear breeding
    fear breeding fear spiral.

    Our global culture is teetering on the edge of extinction.

    No 1 person alone can turn this around, but together WE CAN!

    "The Structure of world peace cannot be the work of one man, one
    party,or one nation. It must be a peace which rests on the cooperative
    effort of the whole world" ... Eleanor Roosevelt

    Our basic human instincts drive us to seek safety. This is what this
    chaos is all about.Our essential human survival instincts are acting
    out of context with the wider global cultural need resulting in
    mistrust, fear and conflict.

    Everywhere the media bombards us with WAR TALK, distractions and
    negative belief patterns that encourage us to believe that the future
    of our world is out of our hands entirely.

    One place we still have communal access to, is OUR STREETS.

    We can balance our GLOBAL CONVERSATION with collective self-expression
    using OUR STREETS AS OUR MEDIA!

    Chalk4Peace is one step, a catalyst that can transform our global
    conversation as "we the people", en masse make our statement that is
    our common aspiration for PEACE.

    START NOW! Just DO IT!

    Carry some chalk with you, invite a friend with you, to chalk
    inspirations on the pavement whenever and wherever you fancy.

    Chalk is harmless, cheap and washes away within a few days.

    Especially PARTICIPATE in the Sept 15th to 23rd GLOBAL Chalk4Peace ACTION!

    Make it happen in your Community!

    (Scroll down for "WHAT CAN YOU DO?")

    Lets us turn our grey streets into a living river of colour and
    possibility - With poetry, hearts, peace symbols, empowering
    statements, also expressions of our frustrations and despair.

    All will be seen for several days by thousands of people, then as they
    are washed away by the elements WE CAN CONTINUE to find fresh places
    to Chalk4Peace.

    We don't need to be an artist to Chalk4Peace. Every statement, however
    small or large becomes part of the amazing tapestry that is our global
    future.

    This unique event conceivably, could be the largest of its kind in
    modern history. It is a global effort that is happening.

    We The People are spreading the word and making the effort to be a
    part of this huge creative endeavour to bring Peace back into the
    equation.

    It is our goal for at least one million or more of us to participate
    with this sidewalk/pavement chalk extravaganza, at thousands of
    locations, in as many countries, cities and towns around the world as
    is possible.
