This one hasn't got a romantic name unless Hilly Fields Loop turns you on. It's about 10 miles of easy paced riding. There must be some uphill bits because there's a reason why Hilly Fields got its unromantic name.

The start is 10am from Canada Water Library opposite Canada Water Station (SE16 7AR). The station's got a lift so if you can get your bike there on the Overground it's easy getting it out. Finish in the same place two hours later (12 noon on the dot)

Hilly Fields is in Lewisham. The route out is via Southwark Park and then Deptford Park, along shared use pavements to Hilly Fields and then down again to the new Leisure Centre in Lewisham.

Then National Route 21 through Brookmill Park (herons, kingfishers); Quietway 1 to the end of Childers Street, across to South Dock (possibly via the new Linear Canal Path) and back to Canada Water.

The map is here https://goo.gl/Ak8XmX. You can contact Bruce on 07729 279 945

  Malumbu, by that measure are police efforts to cut down on anti-social driving by issuing tickets and fines a token effort as well? Surely punitive measures for cyclists breaking the rules will encourage them not to break the rules again? A bit like when you got stopped and taken into the cab of an HGV. The police are currently using that tactic to show those who break the rules cycling that it might lead them to being hit by a lorry due to the driver's having limited vision - the cycling equivalent of a speed awareness course for drivers. When they stopped you was it because you had broken a rule or was it just more of an education programme and they asked you to take a look and did it change your cycling behaviour in any way? As I said previously there are those who break the rules on cycling out of ignorance (and those out of arrogance) and I am sure they are using HGVs to educate those in the ignorance category and then hitting those in the arrogance category with the PCNs.

  Good that PETA is on it but can we add our voices to the fight against this horrible practice? I’m still shocked! A petition maybe? Happy to raise to the RSPCA but don’t want to duplicate efforts. I’ve signed campaigns from RSPCA before which sends it directly to your councillor

  Yes, I'm aware of that. I believe the brood was five to begin with. However they are almost adult size now so not the prey of rats any longer.
