first social cycle ride of 2017 Sat Jan 7th


Recommended Posts

Gloomy but mild: that's the weather forecast for Saturday's social cycle ride. It starts from Peckham Square at 10am -- meeting on arc-shaped bench at the foot of the steps. The route is circular going south,uphill for a while over Telegraph Hill. Then down to the Waterlink Way at Brookmill Park.The only positive thing about going uphill (apart from the view) is coming down again.


Then along National Route 21, over Halfpenny Bridge (LCN 2)(what a delightful name) and on to the Cutty Sark. There will be a brief break there before returning along the river. We will cross the new swing bridge, and then follow Quietway 1 to Surrey Canal Rd.


By now we are ready to turn south towards Peckham again. We follow the lovely path across Bridgehouse Meadows followed by the dreadful non-crossing of Old Kent Rd to Brimmington Park. Then quietish roads and path to Peckham Square.


For route see http://goo.gl/maps/GkEuB. Everyone is welcome. Bruce will be leading and he is on 07729 279 945

    • There are genuine risks for engineers working on cell towers, I believe, but the microwave effects attenuate very swiftly with distance meaning that those consumers, and residents, served by the towers are effectively risk free. The worst impact is aesthetic rather than medical, and the communications and computing etc. benefits offered by 5G tend to mitigate these for most people who have and use mobile telephony. Considering what else is out there in our built environment I personally don't think aesthetic objections trump the utility of better communications infrastructure. 
    • I think the concern is the mast being so close to a school as well?
    • There is a planning application to put a mobile phone mast at the top of Dog Kennel Hill.  Residents of Camberwell Grove and their friends in the Camberwell Society are fighting it - defacing their nice conservation area with ugly laminated posters!  They do not benefit from it as reception is fine on their side of the hill. https://planning.southwark.gov.uk/online-applications/applicationDetails.do?activeTab=makeComment&keyVal=S9IKT2KBN1200 I do not think there are any health hazards from being near phone masts (or at least they are negligible relative to everyday risks we all face).  Anyway, here is what the NHS has to say about them: https://111.wales.nhs.uk/encyclopaedia/m/article/mobilephonesafety/#Risks I imagine this will spark some lively debate!
