The Easy Going Riverboat Ride



Saturday 1st November

Seven people in total turned up on a crisp autumn day at the Cutty Sark as usual. We set off along the Thames Path, then swung inland at Greenland Dock to follow some of Roger Stocker's new cycle route through Russia Dock Woods and up to Stave Hill - the highest hill in the area. Even at 30 feet high there is a surprising view over the south of London. Onwards past the newly relocated Dr. Salter's Daydream statues to Southwark Cathedral where we had a coffee in the very good cafe. Ten minute cycle then to the Tate Modern and a walk over the Wobbly Bridge. Black marks to the Thames Clippers crew who didn't want five bicycles aboard - but we didn't care. As David says - saved us the price of a pint to cycle home anyway!
