Attached is a map of Quietway 1. It comes within half a mile of Peckham High Street but is completely unsigned until you?re on it. The best approach is via Surrey Canal Path and Glengall Road ? and that?s the way the Bike Train goes.


It's not a wildly attractive prospect at the moment. The BBC weather page says: Early rain Wednesday, followed by some showers. Windier but less cold. Warm but wet in other words if you call a forecast 5-8 degrees warm.


We start from outside Nunhead station at 7.45am and pick up riders at Peckham Rye Station (by the bike stands behind McDonalds) ten minutes later. We arrive at the river around 8.30am depending on which bridge or bridges get the nod.


Further progress depends on where you want to go. Please text ahead to say you are coming and where you want to go to. I?m on 07842 640 207. The branch line from Denmark Hill will not run unless booked ahead. Return rides arranged on request.

    • I believe they can enhance the CCTV footage with facial recognition software. Whether they deploy that for a local mugging is anyone's guess, but it's captured in news articles they use it at airports, demonstrations and football matches. Be nice if they compelled the person they caught to make some sort of restitution to the victim. One day last week I saw a bunch of guys in orange hi viz vests in Dulwich Park cleaning up leaves - the vests had Community Payback (or something similar, can't remember exaclty) written on the back. On 1 hand I was like "that's good" but on the other hand I thought the slogan on the back was a bit demeaning.  In my mind, the fear of god to make you rethink your life choices should be inculcated during the police/charging/judicial process where what you once thought was just a harmless mugging/shoplifting/vandalism etc. is in fact wrong and taken seriously by experienced professionals who are there to clamp down on these things.  That should be what's in the forefront of a person's mind -- not "oh no I might have to wear that hi viz vest again"....  
    • I parked on Grove Vale this morning, registering my car for the free half hour and it was going to charge me 40p! I tried 20 mins and same. What’s going on?
    • Still taking bookings for November/December, Please call 07885537463 for any enquiries 
    • Post Boris the Conservatives aimed to raise the number of police but having paid some to retire early and paid redundancy that must have been a huge waste of public money, only to U turn.. Anyway here's hoping for more and better community policing, especially at times when crime is higher such as just after school finishes. CCTV is a known deterrent. Police have mentioned that many times when we or neighbours and friends have been victims of crime. Even disguised criminals can be tracked that way.
