See you all tomorrow morning at 10am by the cafe on the Rye.... and we have a 10am cycle ride this coming Sunday too meeting at the Texaco Garage in Goose Green to Southwark Park.

You bet!


All things being equal, I'll be there 30-mins earlier to do an outer lap of the Rye.... it will be slow but meaningful :-)


Catch you all for 10am, bring a bottle for arm, shoulder & back toning and also for rehydration!

Went to my 1st session today and had a great time. Was made to feel very welcome by the group and Macabe stayed with me all the way in case I collapsed! ( only joking)Seriously though it was like having a personal trainer. Will definately be back for more next Saturday.


Come along, it's not often you get something this good for free.

G'day guys,


This is a Saturday morning Rah Rah, I know, it should have gone out yesterday.


So, 10am by the cafe and bring a bottle of water for arm, shoulder and back toning - and to rehydrate


McCabe

To all fit fans on both Free Fitness in the park groups, Julie is organising drinks for the team and you can bring your friends and buddies too!


* Drinks Thursday 23rd Aug, from 7ish-@ The Great Exhibition pub, Crystal Palace Road SE22. All welcome!!!!!!!!

What a fantastic evening last night! Thanks Julie for organising it - right, you are the social secretary!


All things being equal, we will have a beautiful morning to have some fun and get a bit fitter too.


It was good to meet I think...... Jessy.... last night who started with the group last week while McCabe and family where in Jersey living it up with the cows! I had better scrub up on my German now :-)



So, 10am at the caf? on the Rye for tomorrow morning - and bring a 1 Ltr bottle of water for arm, should and back toning, and to rehydrate too. And..... some change for a tea / coffee at the end.

G'day Jess and team,


Its the Friday Rah Rah time, to get you good people ready for the Saturday morning fitness session.


If you are reading this for the first time, we meet by the caf? on the Rye for 10am and have an hour of fun and fitness. We cover around 2.5Km with stops every c.300m for stretching, toning and some other bits and pieces. Bring a 1 Ltr bottle of water for toning your arms, shoulders and back... and then drink it for rehydration.


If...... if you want to do a bit more, meet at the same place for a 9-15am start where we do 2 outer laps of the Rye.... I set the pace at a 14-min mile which is a powerwalkers pace.


Can I run faster, oh yes! But I will have a half marathon the next day so taking it easy - its the first half of the London Marathon. Come and join me if you can.... meet for 9am at Blackheath/junc of Greenwich Park car entrance... and then finish at Tower Bridge.



Hasta la vista!


McCabe

Great!


There is a slight change to the plan for tomorrow. As we can't do the 1/2 London Marathon on Sunday, I'm going to do 7.5 laps of Peckham Rye which equates to c.Half Marathon.


Assuming I am jogging at a 12-min mile, you will catch me by the zebra crossing (Barry Road) heading up the Rye at the following times:


* 7am, 7-20am, 7-40am

* 8am, 8-20am, 8-40am (Lynsay is joining me here at 8am)

* 9am, 9-20am, 9-40am


And then I will take the 10am group, and really will be leading from the back!


I love setting personal tasks to see if

a) I chicken out (which McCabe doesn't), and

b) can I do them non stop unless I develop an injury?


10am team, remember..... a 1Ltr bottle of water for arm toning.



Hasta Leugo!


McCabe

    • But all those examples sell a wide variety of things,  and mostly they are well spread out along Lordship Lane. These two shops both sell one very specific thing, albeit in different flavours, and are just across the road from each other. I don't think you can compare the distribution of shops in Roman times to the distribution of shops in Lordship Lane in the twenty first century. Well, you can, but it doesn't feel very appropriate. Haa anybody asked the first shop how they feel? Are they happy about the "healthy competition" ?
    • ED is included in the 17 August closure set (or just possibly 15 August, depending on which part of the page you trust more) listed at https://metro.co.uk/2025/07/25/full-list-25-poundland-stores-confirmed-close-august-23753048/. Here incidentally are some snippets from their annual reports, at https://find-and-update.company-information.service.gov.uk/company/02495645/filing-history. 2022: " during the period we opened 41 stores and closed 43 loss-making/under-performing stores.  At the period-end we were trading from 821 stores in the UK, IoM and ROI. ... "We renogotiated 82 leases in the year, saving on average 45% versus the prior lease agreement..." 2023: "We also continued to improve our market footprint through sourcing better store locations, opening 53 and closing 51 stores during the year." 2024:  "The ex-Wilco stores acquired in the prior year have formed a core part of this strategy to expand our store network.  We favour quality over quantity and during the period we opened 84 stores and closed 71 loss-making/under-performing ones."
    • Ha! After I posted this, I thought of lots more examples. Screwfix and the hardware store? Mrs Robinson and Jumping Bean? Chemists, plant shops, hairdressers...  the list goes on... it's good to have healthy competition  Ooooh! Two cheese shops
    • You've got a point.  Thinking Leyland and Screwfix too but this felt different.
