NOTE. You must register on Eventbrite so we can limit numbers, links below.


On Feb 26th we will have 2 rides, both 3.5 hours. Registration on Eventbrite as usual. Note if all places are already booked it is worth checking back as there are occasional cancellations during the week; also try going on the Wait List. If you cannot make it, please cancel so that someone else can take the place. Even at the last minute it is worth cancelling.


Feb 26th Ride details


London Bridge to Design Museum (Holland Park).


10am to 13.30pm. Jamie leading. Ride will start at Southwark Needle at 10am taking in Hyde Park, Holland Park, Speakers Corner, The Mall, Horse Guards Parade, Parliament Square and back to Southwark Needle by 1.30pm. Those that want can have 20 mins in the Design Museum during our coffee break there. Pretty much flat route with usual format of paths and quiet streets as much as possible and a very civilised pace.


Dulwich to Morden Hall


Start 10am, Dulwich Clock Caf?, Dulwich Park, SE21 7BQ. Back at Dulwich Park for 1.30pm. Outward route via Brockwell Park, Clapham Common and Wandsworth Common to Earlsfield (mostly LCN25). Join the Wandle Trail and follow this largely off-road route to Morden Hall Park. This is National Trust, but the grounds and, importantly, the Tea Room or open to the public. Coffee break there. Return route follows Wandle trail back to Colliers Wood, then takes the more direct Cycleway 7 along the A24. Not so scenic, but cycle lanes and other protection have been improved in recent years. At Clapham Common rejoin the outward route (LCN25) back to Dulwich Park via Herne Hill. About 18 miles, some hills, nothing severe. Jean and John leading. Route at https://www.strava.com/activities/5690167719.

    • Thanks TWB, that is all really useful. However, if  memory serves, The Fox Project actually directed me to The Fox Angels when I phoned them, and had no facilities in this area for sending anybody out themselves. They seem to be based in Tunbridge Wells. The Greenwich Wildlife Network also just suggests other organisations who may help in certain situations. To the best of my knowledge, however, for situations involving foxes, including injured or ill  foxes, Fox Angels are the only people who have someone available very locally who can come out virtually immediately (I waited maybe half an hour after I phoned them). The person who came had all the necessary equipment to move the fox, was very gentle and caring, and took the fox to a local vet (it sadly died). It's possible that if you phoned a local vet they would help, if you could get the fox there. The RSPCA has guidelines on what to do if you find an  animal in need,  however although they have recently had a campaign on this (and sent me a badge and a copy of the guidelines on a pocket sized card) I can't find them online. I attach a photo. Don't know if the QR code would work from a photo.    
    • My mum (91 years young!) well remembers going to Austin's as a child, which she described as an 'Aladdin's Cave'!  She absolutely loved it - and is still a shopping fiend to this day (I 'blame' Austin's 😉). Going back up Peckham Rye, passing Austin's on your right hand-side, just past Phillips Walk (so not far from Austin's at all), I believe there was a British Relay Wireless shop - this would have been in the late 1930s/early 1940s.  Does anyone know anything about this? My grandad (my mum's dad) used to manage it; it was severely damaged in The Blitz - but I am having trouble locating it.  Mum's memory is dim (she was 6 at the time); she originally thought it was in Rye Lane, but we think now it was in Peckham Rye just up from Phillips Walk (originally Phillips Road). 
    • Thanks everyone, this will need to be reported again as the fox was still mobile and walking down the road when last seen... hopefully someone will spot and report.
