sociable cycle ride July 1st


Recommended Posts

Exploring Dulwich.


The ride meets at the Pavilion Cafe in the middle of Dulwich Park (SE21 7EA) at 10am and returns to the same place at noon. Then up Dawsons Hill for the view across to Dulwich Hamlet football stadium and down Greendale to Dulwich Village.


It continues south past Dulwich Picture Gallery and Dulwich College to the only Toll Gate in London and then loops up to Kingswood House, aka Bovril Castle. Bovril Castle/Kingswood House, is the building that is a Library and other things these days, off Seeley Drive, see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kingswood_House


The route then turns back through Bel Air Park, on to Herne Hill Velodrome, and back to Dulwich Park. Bruce considers that to be an easy 2 hour ride. It is shorter than usual (14,8km) but that's because he's accepted that people may feel they want to walk up the steeper bit of the ascent of Dawsons Hill. I always do personally.

    • James collected a couple of beds for me today and would be really happy to use home again. Great communications and very prompt. Would recommend. Thanks James. 
    • Perhaps Jezzer would like to tell us where in the Tory 2019 manifesto it gives a detailed breakdown as to how the tax burden would increase under them to an all-time record high by the end of their term. Here's a clue, it didn't.  This idea that Labour should've detailed everything to the nth degree beforehand whereas previous Govs of all hues haven't, is typical of this politically biased  confected outrage. Labout based their manifesto on the figures freely available to them at the time (from memory an OBR report published around March time). Once in power they then asked the OBR to revisit the figures and, surprise surprise, they found a 'hidden' £9 Billion that needed to be added to the existing 'black hole' deficit.   The bottom line in simple terms is the Tories maxed out UK Plc's credit card and went well over the spending limit (Jezzer, you reckon Labour will make the country bankrupt and it will be on its knees? Keep up, the Tories have already done that).  Some of the 'overspend' was undoubtedly due to external factors e.g. Covid and Ukraine, but some was self-inflicted e.g. Brexit, which I read somewhere trumps both in terms of long-term economic damage. Then there's issues like the unfunded tax cuts of Truss' lamentable budget, which among other things caused a spike in interest rates = bad for consumers and business. Where's the outage at that from the likes of Jezzer?  Although I don't agree with everything Labour has done, this idea that their budget is an economic disaster despite there being no run on the stock markets or £, that the Bank of England hasn't been forced to make a fiscal intervention in order to stop pension funds going belly-up, or there's been a spike in interest rates leading to millions of borrowers having to pay more for their mortgages. business loans etc, all of which happened under a Tory Gov and is still affecting people to this day, is laughable. Carry on wearing your Tory blinkers Jezzer while the rest of us cough-up for their economic delinquency...
