Hi I'm looking to go for around a 25-30 mile bike ride tomorrow, thinking of taking in greenwich and the river but happy for any suggestions really.

Quietish routes if possible as I don't tend to stray too much from my M-F commute...

I'd be v grateful for any suggestions...

Cheers

Woodland yes that is my problem too! I often wonder if I could out-pedal someone running fast and think the answer is probably no. I've just applied for a cycle to work scheme to get a new bike and now am wondering if this is a bad move as new bike will obv be attractive however old bike slow and heavy.

JDB in answer to your question the incident yesterday happened probably just after 930am. There were some witnesses although I was not one of them...

It was the part of the park near the big fenced off astro-turf area, the part that you'd tend to arrive in first if you take the cycle route out through Peckham library towards the Old Kent Road.

Stumbled accross a lot of plain clothes police on the edge of Burgess Pk this am...

Was told someone had been bike-jacked

Anyone know any more?

I know there was a spate of these incidents a few years ago but haven't heard of many/any since

I cycle through there regularly in the dark

Trying to upload pictures of stuff I have for sale but keep getting the above message for each pic. Can anyone help me with what I am doing wrong?

Thank you.

Total wild card but I decided to get a Fisher Price record player for my 'god'-daughter. Bit random I know but lots of music lovers in the family so seemed appt. Couldnt find one for love nor money however, but noticed well after the christening that they had them in the toy shop in Dulwich Village.

Go for Dulwich Park Runners, they are a really nice friendly group who run at all different levels and speeds. As far as I remember I didnt need to be able to run a certain distance in order to join. They meet Tuesdays and Thursdays near D Park.

Pink Jelly-cat bunny lost in or around Dulwich Woods/Woodhouse on Sunday 16th October.

If found please get in touch.

Thank you everyone, lots of good ideas there, much appreciated.

My daughter has suddenly become fiercly independent about eating and WILL NOT be fed by me. I'm feeling uninspired in the kitchen and wondered if anyone had any good finger-food ideas for her lunch/dinner. All ideas gratefully received.

Hi I got one for my daughter at around 6m. It was from a website called 'Amber and Art'. I initially had ordered the wrong one and they were v friendly and helpful when I phoned to arrange a swap. The necklace was only 8quid tho so not sure exactly how much amber it contains?!

Interesting question! I might be able to help a bit...

I think it's legal to buy it as its commonly used in the ice-cream industry - in the machines I think. You can buy it on line no problem. I'm pretty sure its illegal to sell it tho - ie for recreational use anyway. Aside from during child-birth I've used it at festivals on 'balloon' format with no ill-effects but thats not to say that there aren't any. It was good fun to use and did pretty much what it says on the tin (ie made us laugh.... a lot....)

Hope that helps.

Just wonderd if anyone knew what was happening on the high street in Honor Oak? I heard that Sainsbury's Local had bought out the old curry house and surrounding units and that Domino's Pizza had secured the Old Bank. Only rumours though - anyone know any more?

Hi Charliebrown,

Does this cat have any white on his face? If so let me know as I have seen some missing cat posters up around Honor Oak so could be a potential lead for them....

Thanks sunbob.

Just wondered if anyone knew if the above had been completed? I have a friend down for a few days and we were thinking of going tomorrow....

Anyone know of a local class of this in the SE22/SE23 area? Ideally one I can take my baby along to... Thanks

Thanks all for your replies. I will definitely give the toddler thing at crystal palace a go. Perhaps I could then go onto your music class Bea which also sounds cool. Will certainly be a fun-packed busy day which is what I like...

Vik re: softplay... I have lately been asking myself 'how much softplay is too much?!'. well we seem to go on average to one softplay or another once a week (I am a self-proclaimed expert on local softplays!). It's certainly funny how I used to HATE those places with a passion but now love going as its actually a break (despite the screaming etc)...! This is what my life has now come to!!

Sorry forgot to mention... ideally in the East Dulwich/Forest Hill area.

Hello

I am just looking for suggestions for an activity to do with my 4 year old son on a Tuesday. Am finding it slightly tricky on the cold winter days to keep him amused as we live in a small flat and need to get out. We go swimming one day a week and he attends preschool on other days. I also have a small baby, so the activity needs to be something that she can also be present during. I am happy to pay (but not through the nose!). Any suggestions gratefully recieved.

Many thanks.
