This one is a Plus ride lasting longer in order to go further. It starts at 9.30an from outside Canada Water Library (good lifts at the station -- direct connection from Peckham Rye). Return by 1pm.


The route is Canada Water to Battersea Park and back. It's another ride along the Thames but this time going west -- easy-paced and lasting 3.5 hours, as much as possible on quiet roads and cycle paths. The likely route is west on the Thames path (National Route 4) to Blackfriars Bridge then on the segregated Superhighway across the bridge. Then onto CS7 to Westminster through Parliament Square down to Millbank, picking up NR4 to Battersea Park.


Coffee and pastries at the cafe in the park which is an old favourite and then back southside of the river past the rapidly progressing redevelopment of Battersea Power station to Nine Elms then eventually to Waterloo station down the Cut and Union St down to Q1, then LCN22 back to Southwark Park and Canada Water.

    • One thing we agree on FM.  I expect that is not new and I remember looking out from a 5th floor over a pavement near Traf Sq 20 years ago and asking what the numerous spots were on an otherwise prestige light grey footpath. Some local authorities put out gum bins but as with all litter just don't drop it.  And fag ends.  And disposable vapes.  And nitrous oxide cylinders!
    • Just a few more days to try and reach the target amount.  Many thanks for all your generosity and kindness 
    • What is also happening - I don't know about Sainsbury's as I no longer shop there, but certainly in other supermarkets and with some manufacturers - is that products remain the same price but the quality or quantity is reduced. Just one example: I buy Waitrose Essential tissues, only because they have plain boxes with no branding once they are in use, and I like the colours (blue for the large ones and mauve  for the smaller ones). The tissues in the mauve box have recently become so thin that they disintegrate virtually immediately you use them. Same with Cushelle quilted toilet rolls. Well, they don't disintegrate, which would be revolting, but they have also got so thin that it's hardly worth buying the quilted ones. And as for  PG Tips ...... 🤬
    • I remember all those glowing recommendations, but I haven't seen any mention of them anywhere lately. Are they still going?
