First part of surveying for the COL extension. Did the area around Shoe Lane. Took around 140 pictures.

Long cycle, on my mountain bike, from home in East London, through the Greenwich Foot Tunnel and along National Cycle Network Route 21, through South-East London, Redhill, Gatwick Airport, Crawley, East Grinstead and Eridge Station to Heathfield. This being an NCN route, there were various pointless diversions to avoid main roads, and some surprisingly narrow, steep and muddy paths. Then, as it was now properly dark, abandoned the planned route to Eastbourne (the remainder of which was largely off-road) and instead headed west for 10km on a fast road to Buxted, where the return train to London was gratefully boarded.

Back home from London Bridge Station, via Stepney Green.

151km in a day is my P.B. for distance cycling (previous best was around 105km when cycling from London to Brighton - that was hillier but was all on-road.)

SLOW Evening Street-O, Surbiton.
