EDIT 2017-09-10: This ride is cancelled.It's time for the overnight version of my Thames Path Meander.
Previous years' threads can be found
here (2015) and
here (2016).
The details:
* Depart 23:00 from
Southwark Needle, south end of London Bridge The Mudlark public house.
* Standard Thames Path Meander route, with some diversions due to closed parks
* Finish near Tower of London; 50km, more or less.
* Along the way I will regale/bore (delete as appropriate) with historical trivia.
* We will stop for threeses before crossing at Woolwich. Nothing is open at that time so pack your own picnic (tbc: That Scottish Restaurant may be open). Adult beverages may be consumed along the route (again, BYOB).
* Breakfast will most likely be at Hamilton Hall, Liverpool Street Station. This is officially post-ride, so no obligation to join in.
* If you employ flashing front/rear lights on the ride you will end up in the Thames - you're bike will be spared if I happen to like it.
* A good front light is vital. Many stretches are unlit and surfaces can be less than perfect.
* If you commit to doing the ride, please send me your mobile number via PM; I will reciprocate.
*
IMPORTANT: The Woolwich ferry does not operate overnight so we will use the tunnel. There is no guarantee either/both lifts will be operational, necessitating the use of stairs (S: _?_; N: 126). Keep this in mind when choosing your steed.
