Recommended Posts

NOTE. Please register for rides on Eventbrite so we can limit numbers, links below.
 
On the 27th July we have two rides, very different in character.  One is a new circular version of Jamie’s “Awayday” to Kent. The other is Bruce’s annual “Big Butterfly Count” local short ride
 
July 27th, Ride 1, Circular ride from Faversham via Whitstable and Canterbury     < https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/circular-cycle-ride-from-faversham-via-whitstable-and-canterbury-tickets-950066222647   >
30 mile ride starting 10am at Faversham Station and finishing back there at around 4:30pm. This is a much longer ride than our usual pattern and involves some off-road unsurfaced paths. Read the detailed instructions in the attached document. Only attempt this ride if you and your bike are in condition to complete it.  If in doubt, feel free to contact Jamie and discuss it (contact details in attached doc).
Our annual search for butterflies in Southwark and Lambeth to coincide with the national Big Butterfly Count.  10 mile loop starting from Dulwich Park Café (middle of the park) at 10am with Bruce leading. Hope to visit Green Dale Fields, Ruskin Park, Elam St Open space, Myatts Fields, Burgess Park and Peckham Rye Park. Back to Dulwich about 12.30. Hope for sunny weather. Route at https://www.google.com/maps/d/u/0/edit?mid=1n05JmqRvzp9AEDV8SokgbXwYxMw5_R9b&usp=sharin  ,

    • Great Service again from Andy.  Contacted him with a couple of issues with toilet cistern and shower.  He came over and sorted it all out quickly. Good advice given, reasonable charge for the jobs.  Highly recommend Andy!   
    • Just seen this.  Your post was a bit unnecessary.  I was simply responding to the previous post that children should be cycling on the pavement. But as you say I know shed loads about transport.  Not to the depths that some go down to the minutia.  Some call me the space cowboy.  Some call me the gangster of love.  I think of myself as the people's poet.  You have to laugh at yourself. Echoing what DKH said, we weren't there, you don't know the parent was making a snide remark, My favourite Dulwich parent story was a few years ago were friends when we were in the Herne garden a few years ago, who let their children run riot.  Bless.  One decided to turn the hose on spraying some poor drinkers.  Now most of us would be mortified, but the friends welcomed their child's creativity.   
    • Whilst I completely agree with the first part of your post, I think it's a terrible waste of council workers' time (and our council tax money) to be coming out to clear up individual instances of dog crap. I don't know what the answer is. I don't know why there don't seem to be dog crap bins any more, but even if there were I doubt if these dog owners would use them if they aren't picking up the crap in the first place. I can't remember why dog licences were scrapped? If memory serves they used to be seven and six in old money. Maybe it wasn't cost effective to run the system, but maybe it would be if they cost a lot more. I think dog training should be mandatory as well. I think a lot of people acquired dogs during Covid who maybe hadn't had one before, as the number of dogs around ED seemed to greatly increase around then. On the other hand, I do think most dog owners train their dogs and pick up after them. Unfortunately it's those who don't who we notice.
