course you can!

And Lenin? Since when did he do a FNRttC?

Some time ago, I did once make a joke about FNRttC initiation ceremonies at the Karl Marx tomb in Highgate.....................

So just be careful out there.



PS I may come along to this, but I'll confirm via email nearer the time.

if the Friends of Highgate Cemetery were up for visits of more than ten, we'd have been going there. We might just stop off at Bunhill Fields for William Blake, though, for that Felpham connection

I never knew he lived in a bungalow!

As long as we don't go back to Tooting and meet that bloke who was about to take his trousers down......

You must have been a bit ahead of me. He did the dirty deed just as I approached.

I have to come along really just to find out why the Adeplhi, head office of Department for Work and Pensions is on there.

 

[CharlieB]

Looks good to me. Is that part of the Regent's Canal I see en route?

Count me in, please.

Are you not doing the non-fnrttc the night before with me?

 

[ceepeebee]

That's a lovely little route, dashes just past where the video for Subterranean homesick blues was filmed, and skirts the edge of the GLW's place of work (Mt Pleasant). I'd love to come please! Especially as aforementioned GLW is taking the kids up north on the 27th and I'll be flying solo for a week.

So close to the Wenlock too.....

Myself also I hope to join.
As a London Bridge Local, I'd just ask why not go past the Tower of London and cross Tower Bridge to Shad Thames instead ? The view is better than London Bridge and in addition you:
1) Avoid tthe temporary single line cycle lane on Tooley Street, which with construction at the Shard is currently one way for vehicles in the other direction
2) You don't tip toe through More London where they disallow cycling

 

[wanda2010]

I'm beginning to feel a tad envious. Might see if I can skive book the day as hols and join you all.

@ Thom, cycling is disallowed? The anti-cycling staff aren't doing that great a job then . Have to agree with your Tooley Street avoidance suggestion, although I'll probably leave the bike at work and foot it to AB1 if I decide against skiving book the day as hols.

 

[dellzeqq]

I did go through the Tooley Street mess the other day, and had a chat with the people working on it - they should be clear by Christmas.

If not, we'll turn right, and go under the bridge via the Golden Hind. I'm pretty sanguine about More London - there's not been any security guards around the last couple of times I've been through there.

Of course all this pre-planning stuff is nonsense. I'm just going to make it up on the day, although there's no way I'm going to spare people the Floating Island of shoot and the Horrors of the Wood Street Graveyard. We might even do Transportation to Australia and the Panopticon

 

[dellzeqq]

Will that be a secret recce for next year's FNR trip to foreign climes? Who's up for deportation then?

ah-ha! Rumbled. Buttsbury Ford and the landing craft to Brightlingsea are all part of my plan. Let me just dust off the footage of the Bracklesham trip
