Back on track

A couple of hours’ walk on an autumn morning: Hatfield to St Albans.

Rosherville diversion

Diversion required in Roshervile (Gravesend) while a huge area is cordoned off for new housing.

Off the Wall

A weekend in Cumbria, thinking about walks with a public transport focus.

I have now completed the Lea Valley Walk, from the Thames to the source at Leagrave. Three full mornings and two half-mornings for 93km, of which 44km was an unbroken stretch on towpath, 14km was on railway trackbeds (much of which was tarmac), and the bulk of the remainder on urban roads and paths.

Lea Valley Walk — Day 1

The first day out following the Lea Valley Walk upstream from the Thames had its navigational and visual challenges before easing out into semi-rurality.
