fun social ride August 20th (flat)


Recommended Posts

A circle along and around the Thames. The ride starts from the Cutty Sark in Greenwich (SE10 9LW) at 9.30am. Meet by the entrance to the foot tunnel but don't expect to go through it straight away. The ride goes east along the Thames to Woolwich and then crosses using the foot tunnel there. Back along the north side to Trinity Buoy Wharf. Coffee break and a visit to the lighthouse and then continues along the north side to Mudchute and the north side entrance to the Greenwich foot tunnel. Pop through there to be back at setting off point at 1pm.


Trinity Buoy Wharf is a lovely bit of old London which has somehow survived Hitler, post-war planners and the Docklands redevelopers. http://www.trinitybuoywharf.com It's now an arts hub of course. The lighthouse marks where the River Lee joins the Thames and the Euston Arch is supposed to be sunk in the mud here somewhere.


Getting to Greenwich might be a stymier. Best way on the train would be Peckham Rye to London Bridge and change for Dartford train via Greenwich. Otherwise train to Canada Water, find the river and follow it to Greenwich. Phone or text Bruce on 07729 279 945

    • Hmmm, millions of animals are killed each year to eat in this country.  10,000 animals (maybe many more) reared to be eaten by exotic pets, dissected by students, experimented on by cosmetic and medical companies.  Why is this any different? Unless you have a vegan lifestyle most of us aren't in a position to judge.  I've not eaten meat for years, try not to buy leather and other animal products as much as possible but don't read every label, and have to live with the fact that for every female chick bred to (unaturally) lay eggs for me to eat, there will be male that is likely top be slaughtered, ditto for the cow/milk machines - again unnatural. I wasn't aware that there was this sort of market, but there must be a demand for it and doubt if it is breaking any sort of law. Happy to be proved wrong on anything and everything.
    • I don't know how spoillable food can be used as evidence in whatever imaginary CSI scenario you are imagining.  And yes, three times. One purchase was me, others were my partner. We don't check in with each other before buying meat. Twice we wrote it off as incidental. But now at three times it seems like a trend.   So the shop will be hearing from me. Though they won't ever see me again that's for sure.  I'd be happy to field any other questions you may have Sue. Your opinion really matters to me. 
    • If you thought they were off, would it not have been a good idea to have kept them rather than throwing them away, as evidence for Environmental Health or whoever? Or indeed the shop? And do you mean this is the third time you have bought chicken from the same shop which has been off? Have you told the shop? Why did you buy it again if you have twice previously had chicken from there which was off? Have I misunderstood?
    • I found this post after we just had to throw away £14 of chicken thighs from Dugard in HH, and probably for the 3rd time. They were roasted thoroughly within an hour of purchase. But they came out of the oven smelling very woofy.  We couldn't take a single bite, they were clearly off. Pizza for dinner it is then. Very disappointing.
