Hi there, sorry if I've posted this already... I can't see it in General so I'm posting again. Here's a link to my local Kent walks website, all within reach of East Dulwich/Peckham/Lewisham. The latest post on the home page includes easter egg hunts and guided walks for the coming long weekend at great places within 20 miles. The link is:

Thank you, this is great. I plan to take my kids to do the Emmetts Garden easter egg hunt and then the circular walk

Thanks so much for posting your blog on here - we thoroughly enjoyed the Downe Circular today. It was perfect for our 5 and 3 year olds. Posted some pics on my blog http://hernehillmum.com/2016/03/28/a-family-walk-around-down-house/


I'll be working my way down the list of suggested walks during the year I expect!

Thanks amac. I did the Downe walk this afternoon with my 2 sons who are 11 and 9 and we had a lovely time. We left ED about midday and got to Downe within an hour. The walk was the perfect length for an afternoon followed by a visit to the tea shop. Home by 5pm! We accidently went a bit off the route in places but easily found our way back again. Thanks also Pamela78 for recommending it. We will also be working our way through the list.

Thanks again.

Amac, we did another of your routes today. This afternoon we went out and did Walk 2: Shoreham (Kent) Circular. We all enjoyed outselves and the walk was very easy to follow. Finished off with a soft drink outside the pub in Shoreham before driving home.

There wasn't very much mud at all and there is just 1 steep part so I think young children would be able to complete it.

There are a few perfect picnic spots next to the river so we will be back in the summer to do that and have a paddle too.

The route would also suit a trail run really nicely and I am hoping to go back and do that sometime soon.

Thanks amac for plotting the route.

Goodliz, really glad to hear you enjoyed the walk. The Shoreham walks are easy to extend: if you continue up the steep hill to the woods at the top there are more paths to explore that can all bring you back to Shoreham eventually if you keep your bearings. Shoreham isn't bad for mud; but One Tree Hill and Ide Hill walks are back to quagmirish in parts thanks to heavy showers this week.

Absolutely Goodliz... and the great news is the mud has now almost all gone, and the bluebells are still just about in their prime though will be fading very soon now. Best walk for bluebells is Ide Hill circular (can't miss 'em). Shoreham Circular walk has great bluebells if you extend the walk by about 15 minutes by walking through Meenfield Wood at the top of ridge (ie, continue up the hill to the top before turning right on path). Here's the site again... https://localkentwalks.wordpress.com/

      Nursery school

      Not sure about changing hands but the Peckham Rye one is open and hasn’t had any random closures. Our child is very happy there but there was a resolved Ofsted complaint half way through last year.  Things don’t look good for the Devon nursery owned by the same company - looks like loads of issues with Ofsted which can be seen in its latest report.

      Have a great nhs dentist accepting patients

      By Sue · Posted

      I was in Forest Hill Road today, just past the Rye, and noticed there is a dentist next to the Herne (pub) that has NHS signs outside. I've never had any problems getting NHS dental treatment in East Dulwich, and I get regular check ups. I've been to three  different dental practices here over the years, all with NHS treatment. I think the difficulties are in other parts of the country. Malumbu has a good explanation above. I didn't hear the Radio 4 programme, but I'm guessing that a  radio programme is not going to have time to say where you CAN easily get NHS treatment, and is bound to focus on the negatives and the horror stories, otherwise it would be very boring! ETA: Re children's teeth, I think the major issue is not lack of dentists, it is children being given sugary food, drinks and confectionery which rots their teeth. The education of parents needs to be about this, not just about tooth brushing. And in some cases the poor diet may also be due to lack of money for healthy food. Though of course the lack of dentists doesn't help, if  the tooth rotting can't be rectified by fillings or extraction.

      Boycotting US products

      Well, I hope you like what you see, the hot air, lack of answers and continual blaming things on the last Government and the made up blackhole, I find are nauseating. The man needs to see reality, because I'd guess that if we had a snap election tomorrow and based on the first six months of this parliament, Labour would get trounced. When the election does finally happen and if that isn't before the people rise up and throw this lot out, Labour will not be voted back in for a millennium.
