sociable cycle ride Saturday April 28th 10am

[Sally Eva]

This easy-paced two-hour ride starts and finishes at Peckham Square (next to Peckham Library and Peckham Pulse Leisure Centre, SE15 5JR. It takes in four cemeteries and several parks.

From the Square riders will go south down Rye Lane and then up to the old overgrown Victorian cemetery in Nunhead. The across the south end of of Peckham Rye Park to Camberwell Old Cemetery at the top of Forest Hill Road. From there a short run to the Horniman Museum where we will make a brief stop.

From Horniman, head back to Camberwell New Cemetery then over the railway and down to Brockley and Ladywell Cemetery. Follow the nice paths through this cemetery and exit close to Hilly Fields Park. If time will the group will climb Hilly Fields then return to Peckham via Brockley Station and Telegraph Hill.

The eagle-eyed will have noted several mentions of ?hill?. Fear not, none are too steep or too long. In fact given that Camberwell Old Cemetery (and the Horniman) are definitely "up" from Peckham, all (or nearly all) the inclines are very slow. A small amount of walking may be found necessary up occasional steep bits but time has been factored in for that.
