This easy-paced backstreets ride starts from the Pavilion Cafe in Dulwich Park at 10am on Saturday and lasts two hours. The quiet uiet route takes in five large parks plus looking in on the Herne Hill Velodrome.

There are some slopes but they are gentle uphills only ? no big climbs. From the Pavilion Caf? there's a long downward run to Peckham Rye Park and down Rye Lane past the start location in Peckham Square. The ride continues down the Canal Path to Burgess Park and across the park to the New Church Rd exit.

From there it's a steady uphill climb via Camberwell Grove but not to the very top you will be glad to know. There's an alley across to Willow Walk, past Denmark Hill Station and into Ruskin Park. Round the low side of Ruskin Park and along Milkwood Rd to Herne Hill Station. Walk though the underpass and across into Brockwell Park.

If time permits there will be a quick burn up the hill (optional), then an exit to Rosendale Rd and round to Herne Hill Velodrome. Watch the action for a few minutes then ride the short flat hop back to Dulwich Park.

This is a 10 mile circuit. The map at http://goo.gl/maps/hFFNL shows a Peckham start but it's the same ride just starting from a different point on the circuit this time. This ride is organised by Southwark cyclists who are the borough branch of the London Cycling Campaign which tries to get safer roads for cycling and more people cycling on them. Everything we do is free, everyone is welcome and you don't have to be a member or live in Southwark to do it.

  Oh now you're coming over all defensive. What happened to the nice Sue, because since the early part of the year your approach seems to have changed and you've become much more challenging. No you have not broken any rules and even if you had why would I involve Admin, that's a ludicrous thing to say. Take care Sue.

  I was the opposite of you. I never felt particularly happy around Brixton late at night - I didn't know it that well. Do you remember the name of the late- night Irish pub opposite the railway arches near the BR station? Was it Mulligan's? Brannigan's? To be fair, until the East London Line extension, Rye Lane walking south wasn't a favourite of mine after dark either. The only pub left on there was The Hope, which was in the other direction. It felt very bleak. I think that makes a huge difference. When The Gowlett was boarded up, Adys Road felt very different. It's like a beacon now. Pub violence does seem to have had its day in inner London. Maybe it's a result of the disappearance of pool tables, flat-roofed pubs and cheap Stella offers. I bet you could still find a Saturday night kick-up in New Addington or the Becontree estate in Dagenham. Definitely. Pubs next to stations, kebab shops and ironically named nightclubs are all to be avoided in smaller places. The weirdest place I've ever had random trouble was in a club in St. Ives in Cambridgeshire. I think it was called 'Options'. It was the only club there. See also 'Jekylls' nightclub in Hyde, Manchester - a truly dreadful place where getting thrown out for fighting was infinitely preferable to spending the evening in there and coming out stinking of stale chip fat. I took a kicking in 'Kingsway Kebabs' in Swansea after a night in 'The Aviary' (so named because it was 'full of birds') nightclub. But that wasn't so random. It was a local girl, who gave me a leathering because I'd run off for a large chicken doner, rather than dance with her to 'Criticize' by Alexander O'Neal. Sorry, Sue, I've digressed a little. To answer your question, I think London feels relatively safe overall.

  I’m happy to report that I got a much earlier prescription review than the 22 September. Not sure what that was down to but I was sent a text to say to expect a telephone call on a certain day and time for earlier this week. It was with a pharmacist and not a doctor. I was later told to expect a telephone call on call on both the 19 and 23 September. They are really pushing the boat out. Not complaining. Also, Dr. Shivji is back working.

  "Firing"? "Demanding"? A "habit on here of 'demanding' answers"? Crikey. I didn't say you "should" do anything! This is a forum. For discussion. I will say whatever I like and ask whatever I like, within the forum rules, as can anybody else Please move your issues with me to the thread I have started in the lounge on feeling safe in London, because this is a thread about a burglary in Lacon Road. If you continue to post your complaints about me on this thread, I shall not respond, so do feel free. Or if you think I have broken any forum rules, do feel free to report me to admin.
