I’ve cheated here – this is actually two sections of my Capital Ring odyssey in one – Hanwell to Greenford last week, Greenford to Harrow this week. I joined them together because they were both fairly short, largely unexciting, and because two posts about how Ealing Council clearly can’t be arsed to look after its […]

Capital Ring 5: Richmond to Hanwell
Hooray! Walking shoes back on to pick up my round-London trip on the Capital Ring once again, after a break for holidays, a couple of weeks where I didn’t have many evenings free, and a few other issues. It was good to be out and about again, and this stretch was completely new territory for […]

The suburban calm of Penge was punctuated with the sounds of OW! as he battled bravely to the end. And my camera […]

Capital Ring 1: Charlton to Grove Park
A bit of time on your hands? Sun shining? Have a blog that needs livening up? Time to put on some walking shoes, grab the camera, and head out for a walk. Over the next few weeks, I’m going to be walking the Capital Ring, which runs in a loop right around (roughly) inner London. […]
