Peckham to Lewisham and the Quaggy River (and back). The Quaggy River doesn't sound too attractive somehow but the Quaggy Waterways Action Group love it. There is lots of information about the Quaggy on their website http://qwag.org.uk and their ?goal is to demonstrate, using the Quaggy, that rivers can be major assets to an urban environment ? bringing natural beauty, educational facilities and wildlife value into urban landscapes and urban lives". Which sounds excellent.


The ride starts and finishes in Peckham Square (Peckham Library, Peckham Pulse, SE15 5JR)-- in good weather the meeting point is on the crescent shaped bench at the foot of the steps. On less kind weather it's probably under the Arch. This will be the usual easy-paced 2 hour ride, mostly on quiet roads with a few path sections through parks. Some gentle hills, nothing extreme you will be glad to know.


Inspiration comes from the last Waterlink way ride that invited curiosity about another tributary of the Ravensbourne, the easy-to-remember Quaggy River. The Quaggy meets the Ravensbourne down by Lewisham station where riders will first see it. Then they will follow the Quaggy to Manor Park where hopefully there will be time for a brief stop at the ArtsCafe http://www.lewishamartscafe.uk. Then on to Manor House Gardens and the turn for home.


Route is at https://goo.gl/svHy65. The outward leg goes via Brookmill Park, return leg goes past the Lewisham Leisure Centre, Brockley Station and Nunhead. 16.5km, just over 10 miles. Free, everyone welcome, no rules on joining anything or living anywhere. Very pleasant people. A good time will be had by all. Queries text Bruce on 07729 279 945

    • It doesn't work as a commercial venture.  Bit churlish to say I told you so.  I told you so.  I'll send less greetings cards.  What pees me off is international postage where you can no longer send light letters at 10 grammes, normal ones up to 20g, now all at the much more expensive 100 g  Didn't we vote to take back control and price everything according to irrational units like ounces? That's some obscure humour btw   
    • Available from Monday April 8th 2024, 2on2Walkies take pride in doggie care and only walk 2 furry friends at a time. I make sure that they get plenty of doggie interaction and socialisation in the park as well as making friends. Back home happy and tired I always check that the water bowl has fresh water and always make sure the doggie is left comfortable before I leave. I'm fully insured and have a couple of slots available for local walks to either Peckham Rye Park or Dulwich Park.  Thank you!  
    • Why would they only send them recorded delivery? I used the signed for option yesterday.
    • > however I know I will have to prove it and provide a receipt,  both I can't provide. So what leads you to say that the dustmen have done damage to it?
