This is the last session under the Arch this year. We don't carry on after the hour change -- the mechanics' hands get too cold and they can't see what they're doing. Seem like good reasons. They will be working away from 5.30-7.30pm. A pic of the Arch is attached.

Our great team of mechanics (volunteers led by a pro) fix brakes, index gears, pump up tyres, and look for the source of that squeak. They are multi-talented and enjoy a challenge so if you've got one, bring it along. If you can't get along then we also run a teach-and-mend session at Camberwell Leisure Centre on the first and third Tuesdays of every month. The next one will be October 15th. That is a bit later -- 6.30-8.30pm.

All this stuff is free and (we hope) welcoming. We are Southwark Cyclists and we are the borough branch of the London Cycling Campaign. Our website is here: https://southwarkcyclists.org.uk and the LCC's website is here: https://lcc.org.uk/?ref=nav. You can contact us on [email protected], tweet us @southwarkcycle or text me on 07842 640 207. I might or might not know the answer but I'm friendly.

- Are we now under a flight path?
  
  By Forest Hill Climber · Posted 20 minutes ago
  
  In 2016 London City Airport began using concentrated flight paths. When there's a predominantly westerly wind, incoming aircraft approach from East London (north of the River. When there's a predominantly Easterly wind, incoming aircraft approach the airport from the West: circling through Forest Hill, Dulwich, Vauxhall, Tower Hamlets, Docklands. This latter flight path affects many of us in South East London. https://www.london.gov.uk/who-we-are/what-london-assembly-does/questions-mayor/find-an-answer/london-city-airport-concentrated-flight-paths The planes going into City are often below 2,000 ft, so very noisy. Sometimes we have incoming Heathrow at the same time, flying higher. The early flights that I hear e.g. 04:30 are incoming to Heathrow. They are scheduled to land at 05:30 but are 'early'. Apparently the government allows a percentage of flights to arrive early and late (but these are now established as regular occurrences, informally part of the schedule). IMHO Londoners are getting very poor political representation on this issue. Incredible that if you want to complain about aircraft noise, you're supposed to contact the airport concerned! Preposterous and designed solely in favour of aviation expansion.

  Yet another recommendation for Jafar. Such a nice guy, really reliable and fair. He fixed a problem with our boiler and then incredibly kindly made two more visits to replace a different part at no extra cost.

  I didn't have any problems with plane noise until city airport started flying planes to and from about 5-8 minutes apart from 5.30 am or 6 am, and even with ear plugs and double glazing I am woken at about 6 well before I usually would wake up. I have lived here since 1986 and it is relatively recently that the planes have been flying far too low over East dulwich. I very much doubt that they are headinbg to Heathrow or from Heathrow. As the crow flies we are much , MUCH closer to City Airport than Heathrow or Gatwick. I even saw one flying so low you could see all the windows, when I was in Peckham Rye Park.
