Not exactly attractive weather to be publicising bike rides but, hey, right now Saturday's the only day in the next week without a blob of rain scheduled on it.


So here goes: the next ride is the Peckham to Blackheath Loop leaving Peckham Square (Peckham Library, Peckham Pulse Leisure Centre, SE15 5JR) at 10am and returning at 12 noon


The route has been tweaked a bit to include Telegraph Hill. That's a hill of course but it has a great view over London. After that the group will come down to Brookmill Park and follow a not too steep river route up to Blackheath and Greenwich Park. At Lewisham there will be a small diversion to look at the new landscaping at the confluence of the Ravensbourne and the Quaggy.


There's another short stop planned at the entrance to Greenwich Park where there are loos and then a return down through the park and along Quietway 1 (now renamed Cycleway 1) which is a favourite route and by far the best Quietway so far. The round trip is 10.5 miles, all quiet streets or paths. There are steep bits but plenty of time is allowed for walking the short steep bits. A route map is here:



These rides are organised by Bruce Lynn and friends on behalf of Southwark Cyclists who are the borough branch of the London Cycling Campaign.

    • What is the reason for the change in name? Just curious.
    • Why change it?  You’ve got a fantastic historic, memorable name and you want to change it for something innocuous,  meaningless and empty
    • From the school newsletter:   A New Name for Dog Kennel Hill As you know we have been discussing and consulting with stakeholders about a  name change at DKH for a while. Following engagement with staff, pupils and  families, we gathered all views on a name change for the school and after  careful consideration of the feedback, the Local Committee and the Trust have  agreed with changing the school name to Grove Primary School from  September 2025.  Over the next few months we will begin a gradual process of changing our  name on signage, our website and emails etc. We will keep you updated.  We will be looking at designing a new logo to match the new school name and  will be working closely with a graphic designer to get creative. The school  council will be actively involved in this process. We will share the results with  you as soon as a design has been agreed and confirmed. We will be creating a  new school jumper to replace the old one, once the logo has been finalised. We  will phase this in over time.  We know that this is a welcoming change for some and that there are  parents and children who will be sad about the change. However, as a school  we think it will be a positive change for our school community and we will  work together to ensure that the ethos and culture of DKH will remain!
    • if I think of Corbyn dealing with a global pandemic (a lot of his supporters and some of his family come from the woo end of the spectrum - his brother is a proper anti-vax nut), then the  invasion of Ukraine (Corbyn long record of not exactly condemning Putin even as he killed people on British soil and many other matters, I  really do shudder
