I'm thinking of re-running my Thames Path Meander soon, probably Sunday 18
th September. You can read about TPM and TPM Redux in
the original thread.
The route is roughly 50km, exploring along the Thames. We start from the Southwark Needle (south end of London Bridge) at 10:30, then head east to Woolwich. After ferry crossing we return to the City, following the north bank. There are lots of surprises along the route. I've also picked up loads more trivia to amaze and fascinate my fellow riders.
I'll be doing a final recce this week, confirming diversions, etc. Once I've done this I'll also confirm the date. The route can be done on skinny tyres; tandems and trikes (of both varieties) may have some difficulties.I've now reviewed the entire route. If you plan to do this ride on a trike or tandem I strongly recommend you reconsider - there are a number of gates to negotiate. If a trike or tandem is your only option then please PM me ASAP! There are diversions which can be used, but I'd like to know in advance so I can double-check maps.
I don't want to scare folk away, but it is only fair that I am completely honest about the route. There will be:
* gates
* bollards
* steps (not full flights)
* kerbs (up and down, not many)
* cobbles (lots)
* uneven paving stones
* busy roads (less than 1km in total)
* NCN paths
* points of interest (many)
* photo opportunities (lots)
