Recommended Posts

Quick plug for occasional Healthy Rider Simon Saville. He is half way through his Lands End to John O?Groats ride to raise funds for Butterfly Conservation, more here: https://butterfly-conservation.org/news-and-blog/time-to-act-bike-for-butterflies?fbclid=IwAR1UTzU4N7eY2biBJS-QkrPBVbwLIWKl4fUpVP-eTX8_Gu4au8G4ZoogSyY


This week we have two Southwark Healthy Rides both starting from Canada Water at 10am. Registration on Eventbrite as usual. When you register on Eventbrite, link details below, please give a phone number as it may be needed for Track and Trace. If you cannot make it, please cancel so that someone else can take the place. Even at the last minute it is worth cancelling.


Canada Water, Greenwich, Tower Bridge Loop


10.00 am to 12.30pm. Start/finish at Deal Porter Square, opposite Canada Water Station, SE16 7AR. Easy 12 mile loop using DLR to cross river at Greenwich (mask + travel pass or equivalent needed) and returning over Tower Bridge. No hills, mostly off road or quiet streets. Tower Bridge can be busy, but strict 20 mph and no awkward side turnings, so not as bad as people think. Route will be mostly Thames path to Greenwich station (main station, not DLR or Cutty Sark), train to Mudchute, through Canary Wharf, more Thames path to Shadwell Basin, then canals route to Tower Bridge. From Tower Bridge back on Thames path (Cycleway 14) to Canada Water. It will be possible to join this ride at Greenwich Station. Be at the man station entrance by the Novotel on Greenwich High Road sharp at 10.30. Simon leading.


Westward loop from Canada Water to Central London


10am to 12.30pm. Start/finish at Deal Porter Square, opposite Canada Water Station, SE16 7AR. Flat ride into central London led by Philippa. Not certain of the route yet but will involve crossing some bridges and, possibly, sighting some elephants.


These rides are organised by Bruce Lynn and friends on behalf of southwark cyclists. We are a borough branch of the London Cycling Campaign. Our website is here: https://southwarkcyclists.org.uk/ and the LCC's website is here: https://www.lcc.org.uk/. Any questions, text Bruce on 07729 279 945

Unusually there are plenty of slots left for the tides tomorrow (July 10th). Both rides 2.5 hours and starting at Canada Water at 10. Forecast 18 degrees and 60 % chance of a shower. So not perfect, but not dire either. Links below.


Canada Water, Greenwich, Tower Bridge Loop 10am start


Westward loop from Canada Water to Central London 10am start. Plan is the search for the herds of elephants currently present in several locations.

    • We've got a Victorian coal hole cellar with a mud floor and after a couple of severe water leaks, I've taken more of an interest in the state of the dampness.  I've been running a dehumidifier for the past couple of weeks following a small water pipe leak and whilst most of the floor is now bone dry, there are damp patches along most of the wall adjoining the next house, a large damp patch in the middle of the floor that will not dry even with the dehumidifier right next to it and a patch of wet mud in a small hollow in the middle of the cellar.  An expert that lent us industrial drying equipment following a flood from a burst mains pipe said there will always be damp, but I'm a bit concerned in case there is a fundamental problem - any ideas from anyone with similar?
    • Best you post when you have an idea of dates  - waste  of everyone’s time
    • Hi there,  Looking for 10-12 jars (to start with) of local honey to fill a small section of a deli space in my work canteen. Please get in touch if you know of any community projects/small scale productions Cheers
    • Yeah, it did work out in the end, but it was way more stressful and expensive than it needed to be. He lost money. He had higher offers early on, but those buyers pulled out because of all the delays. On top of that, he spent a fortune on legal fees trying to get the neighbour to sign off on the freehold transfer. It dragged on for ages. In the end, he was lucky the final buyer stuck with it, but the price was lower, and the whole thing left a bad taste. A lesson learned. Share of freehold can be a real nightmare if the other owners aren’t cooperative. You’ve got to be 100 per cent sure everyone’s reasonable, otherwise it’s just not worth the hassle.
