"I attach some photographs taken on yesterday's 12 mile walk along the Capital Ring from Highgate to West Ham led by Susan Holman from which to select a few for the Rambling On blog. 13 people joined Susan on the walk, which was a very good turnout for a midweek walk, despite the weather not being very good with light rain for much of the time. The route was very interesting and took us along the Parkland Walk...
... past Stoke Newington Library and through Abney Park Cemetery...
to lunch at Springfield Park. It then followed the River Lea Navigation past Walthamstow Marshes to the Olympic Stadium site and the Greenway (Northern Outfall Sewer Embankment)...
... which seems to be a lot less green now that much of the vegetation has been removed and replaced by a broad strip of tarmac and concrete more suitable for cyclists than leisure walkers!
However, the "View Tube" near Pudding Mill Lane Station, at the point where the Greenway is crossed by the railway line at surface level, was quite interesting and further on near Abbey Mills Pumping Station there was an unusual sundial embedded in the tarmac.
The walk ended all too soon and we look forward to the next section next month."
