Recommended Posts

Hi everyone,


We have 2 Healthy Rides, 13 places each, with registration on Eventbrite as usual. You must register on Eventbrite, details below. Please give a phone number when registering as it may be needed for Track and Trace. If you cannot make it, please cancel so that someone else can take the place.


Ride 1


London Bridge to Hyde Park


12 mile flat ride round some of the iconic sites in Central London. Ideal for riders wanting to try riding in a bit of traffic in a group. Great for gaining confidence. Start/finish from the Southwark Gateway Needle at the south end of London Bridge, conveniently close to London Bridge Station if you want to get to the start by surface rail. Route: London Bridge, Cannon Street, Cycleway 3, Parliament Sq, St James's Park (Birdcage Walk), Buck House, Green Park, Hyde Park, (alongside The Serpentine, turn left onto West Carriage Drive, over bridge, left onto South Carriage Drive, past Hyde Park Barracks,) Green Park, Buck House, St James's Park (The Mall), Parliament Sq, Westminster Bridge, Belvedere Road, Upper Ground, London Bridge. Simon leading.


Ride 2


Greenwich, Canary Wharf, Trinity Buoy Wharf, Barrier Park Loop


Fascinating ride through river and dock side East London. About 15 miles, 3.5 hours, including coffee break. Meet at Greenwich Station, 9.30 to get DLR train to Mudchute (bring face mask and travel pass). OR meet at tunnel exit at Island Gardens at 9.45 (for people happy to carry bikes down/up steps at Greenwich Foot Tunnel, or who can ride directly to Island Gardens). Aim is to finish at Cutty Sark at approx. 1pm. Trinity Buoy Wharf (https://www.trinitybuoywharf.com/) has the Faraday Shed, a tree in a taxi on a Caf?, a lighthouse and more. If you have never visited, this is your chance. Barrier Park on the north bank gives terrific views of, you guessed it, the Thames Flood Barrier. Return route probably via Woolwich Ferry and the Thames Path. Last ridden Feb 2018, report and photos here (http://healthyrider.weebly.com/healthy-ride-reports-jan-march-2018.html). Amanda leading.

    • Hello! We are relocating abroad and so will be withdrawing our two children (ages 4 and 6) from St Dunstan’s College (Catford). If any family is considering enrolling children of a similar age, now would be an excellent opportunity—we’re required to pay full‑term fees unless the places are taken. Please get in touch if you’re interested or know someone who might be. Thank you!
    • Hi  I really thought I'd seen a more recent post on the forum about home education meet ups. I can't find it though. Hope some of these might provide leads. https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/137603-home-schooling-advice-anyone-wants-to-do-it-together/#comment-1092093 Very old post but group seems still to exist: https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/92044-home-education-local-group/#comment-954837 You could try contacting this forum member: https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/325368-classroom-support-for-home-education-community/#comment-1621064 Two of these left for right now: https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/events/event/1025-🌟-teens-11-try-painting-sculpture-street-art-at-holiday-workshops/
    • Thanks for your reply. I’ve subscribed to Ancestry a few times in the past but felt I wasn’t using it enough to warrant keeping up the subscription.    
    • Hi, I saw your post and just wanted to say that the incident you’re referring to did happen in the late 1980s at Dawson’s Heights. The person involved was named Carl Salawa, and he had just turned 18 years old at the time. Like you, I haven’t been able to find any news articles or official reports about it, If anyone remembers anything more about that time or incident, I’d really appreciate hearing about it. Thanks for sharing what you were told—it means a lot to know others remember.
