social cycle ride Feb 2nd 10-12 noon Dulwich Park

AKA the Crystal Palace Loop which starts by going up from Dulwick Clock Cafe (or further up for people like me who come from Peckham). The idea, good in itself, is to get the pain over early and start with the uphill bit and then cruise home mostly downhill.


The Cafe is at SE21 7BQ -- in the centre of the park by the pond. The route heads along College Road and up to Crystal Palace Park. This is quite a steep climb towards the Crystal Palace end and extra time has been factored in for pushing. It gets better at the top with a downhill ride to the dinosaurs, down to the bottom and across to the Waterlink Way (national cycle route 21) via Cator Park.


The Waterlink Way is a gem for those who don't know it. Flat, entirely off-road, and follows the banks of the Ravensbourne until it turns into Deptford Creek. It runs from South Norwood Country Park near Elmers End Station to the Cutty Sark -- eight mostly very pretty miles. Picture to prove it has pretty bits is attached. It doesn't all look like this.


There won't be time to make the loop include the Thames but there will be a long stretch mostly off road north along Waterlink Way to Ladywell Fields before heading back to Dulwich for 12 noon via LCN22 and Peckham Rye Park. The route is here: https://goo.gl/rfUzwn (anti-clockwise)


These messages are brought to you on behalf of Southwark Cyclists (the borough branch of the London Cycling Campaign) and some very special people known as Bruce Lynn and friends. They organise these weekly Saturday rides, sort out the routes and lead them keeping everyone safe. Everything is free and everyone is welcome.


The rides are free, as flat as can be arranged, most last two hours (like this one) but one a month is longer to stretch those muscles and investigate new routes.

    • I agree that someone somewhere must at one point decided on their purpose, however if anything was ever written down it is probably long lost, given the turnover of councillors and council staff . The Crofton Park noticeboards I mentioned above are solely for information about the council  and various community groups and activities, plus  various community related things such as the library times and services.  I think they are very bright, interesting and inviting, however I am not going back there solely in order to take a photo The ones in East Dulwich don't have much on them because ... well, for the reasons on this thread 🤣 Quite apart from the fact that these are supposed to be community notice boards, there are all sorts of reasons why they should not be used for private businesses to advertise, as I and others have already said. Yes there have been huge changes in the area, but I can't see how those changes affect the purpose of community noticeboards, unless you think that the changes mean that there is no longer a "community" in East Dulwich. Which would be very sad indeed. Anyway, I am stepping away from this thread now, I have other things to do 🙄
    • From experience, it's the norm that the local authority reject appeals regardless of facts. Suggest you appeal and highlight that you followed the requirements by using the app to log the parking session and the failure of the app / network to register this is a technical issue beyond your control for which you can not be held responsible for and accordingly not penalised. Also that the traffic wardens records confirm you were parked for less than the free period so again should not be penalised. Do a search on web for similar appeals The 'fight back forum' website used to be very good for people sharing there appeals experience; and looks like this is no longer running but try https://www.ftla.uk I've appealed loads of Penalty Charge Notices for myself, friends and family and all been successful. In approx half of the appeals the local authority did not even respond and were won by default.  Re 20p fee - check if you you have text message alert 'on' as these are generally charged for and if so turn it off to save text fee. Hope this helps For Clarity, you need to follow the process, so have to first appeal to the local authority that issued the PCN (sounds like you've done this).  Then you can appeal to the London Tribunals and the local authority have to tell you this and tell you your reference number to submit this appeal.  
    • I’ve read the thread, but no one on the thread has authority over the noticeboards. There must be something written somewhere spelling out the purpose of them;  if they’re not serving that purpose maybe the purpose should change.  I’m interested, not because I have a business which I wish to advertise, but because I’ve seen noticeboards elsewhere that have a richer more reflective feel maybe a bit like a physical manifestation of the What’s on on section of this forum but more 
    • There has already been pages of discussion about this. Please read the whole thread if you haven't already. These are community notice boards and not for the use of  local commercial businesses. I need this to be quite clear before I spend  time on it, because if they are to be used for commercial purposes then I am not willing to be involved at all, and shan't be speaking to Monica
