Peckham to Greenwich Festival via 7 Finest Views of S.E. London

Easy-paced 8 mile ride to be led by Jamie with, as the title says, great views. 10am start at Peckham Square, next to Peckham Library and Peckham Pulse Leisure Centre (SE15 5RY). Finish at Cutty Sark to allow those who wish to enjoy the Greenwich Festival in all its gastronomical and artistic splendour. Look out for the "We are watching" flag that will be flying on its 10 storey flag pole by the Royal Naval College (see https://wearewatching.org/). Route: Brockley / Hilly Fields / Brookmill Park / Blackheath / Greenwich Park Observatory / National Maritime museum /Cutty Sark. Mostly using quiet back roads or paths. The idea will be to spend a few minutes at each viewpoint. Not too sure about timing, but should be at Greenwich in well within 3 hours. Previously ridden 22 May 2021. Short report at https://southwarkcyclists.org.uk/healthy-rides/healthy-ride-reports-2021/the-7-finest-views-of-se-london/

NOTE. There will be no led ride back. A suggested quiet return route to Peckham is on Google Maps at https://bit.ly/3AUs51B

We will keep everyone as safe as possible by observing all the Covid Regulations. Even with the relaxation of the rules it is still a good idea to routinely keep a 2m social distance, never less than 1m. Particularly important to maintain social distancing from other users on shared paths. Always give way to pedestrians and to other cyclists so all path users can maintain 1-2 m and feel safe. Bring a face mask as will be needed on DLR and cable car and if you want to get refreshments at the caf? stop). Obviously please do not turn up to this event if you are displaying symptoms of Covid-19.
