Parking in Herne Hill

Hi Sue, I don’t know how far you are able to walk but if you can get to the Oxfam shop you wouldn’t need to walk back to East Dulwich because the 37 bus stops outside. Some of these trolleys fold up really small snd are light enough to take on a bus (or pop in the boot of your car for that matter). They can be a practical option when transporting large/heavy loads around. Good luck!

Thanks for this. I appreciate your suggestion.

However, I have walked to the Oxfam shop with a shopping trolley (quite light when it's empty)  load of books in the past.

I have also taken a trolley load of books on the 37.

Both times I came back on the 37 with an empty trolley.

I'm 76 and not particularly fit. I also have a problem with both  my arms (golfers elbow. No I am not a golfer. Dragging weights makes the pain worse).

To walk to Herne Hill from my home  involves dragging the trolley uphill for the first part of the walk (downhill after that).

To get a trolley of books onto and off the bus is very difficult, because of its weight.

I don't use my ancient car (1998) very often because it isn't ULEZ compliant, but I have come to the conclusion that this is the only way I can get another  load of books to the Oxfam shop.
