This slightly longer but still easy-paced cycle ride starts in Burgess Park and does a circular route with Bishops Park Fulham at the other end. Back for 1pm. For those starting in East Dulwich I've made a little map starting at the station as a place which most people know and taking safe backstreets to Burgess Park. https://cycle.travel/map/journey/129745. I've emphasised safety. If you think I've overdone it you can use cycle.travel to make your own route pepping it up a bit.


This is one of the monthly, longer "+" rides. Like all the others it is organised by Bruce Lynn and friends to be easy-paced and quiet. It's also flat. This 19 mile ride starts and finishes at the Park Life Cafe in Burgess Park (Chumleigh Gardens, off Albany Rd, SE5 0RJ). The route out goes via Lansdowne Gardens, Battersea Park, Albert Bridge and Chelsea Harbour.


There will be a coffee stop in Bishops Park and a bit of time to have a look at Fulham Palace. The return is via Putney Bridge to sample the excellent paths along the Wandsworth and Battersea riverside; Battersea Park again, and finally home via CS5 along Harleyford Rd. Lots of off road path.

    • Ask the surgeries.  Most dentists  I have been to were child friendly.  The only one was the school dentist who'd come in a caravan and do lots of unnecessary work, which I now suffer from. 
    • Round-robin letter received this week regarding this. Main points are that the number of new homes is being reduced from 877 to 867. OK, not much change there, but.... "A reduction in the number of affordable homes from 270 (35% by habitable room) to 77 (12% by habitable room)" That's a 72% reduction in the number of affordable homes. I don't know a lot about this kind of thing, but it seems that just 77 affordable homes in a development of 867 is a massive pee-take in an area where a 1-bed flat is £400K+ if it isn't "affordable." If you're interested, the application can be viewed at https://planning.southwark.gov.uk/online-applications/ ref 24/AP/2074 and there's a lot of objections to the reduction in affordable homes. The drop-in sessions are Weds 26th Feb (Peckham Library) and Mon 3rd March (All Saints Church) at 3pm. Full details attached. 24_AP_2074-FILE_COPY_-_NEIGHBOUR_NOTIFICATION_LIST-4005193.pdf
    • I noticed 4 gone in a short stretch of Bellenden Road alone this weekend. I had no idea it was to do with the tech and thought that it was a retro Beastie Boys thing. Showing my age. Sorry I can only find a Facebook link if you are too young to remember this: https://www.facebook.com/watch/?v=578367166664170 Totally agree that it's a bad design flaw, and I bet the actual cost of the parts to VW is minimal so they could easily cough up some of the replacement costs. It's depressing that someone can go along a street popping these things off cars with very little worry about being prosecuted.
