Eight mile circular:

Finsbury park - Parkland Walk South - Highgate Wood - Parkland Walk North - Ally Pally - Hornsey - New River Path walk - Haringey - Finsbury park.

This section between Crouch Hill and this Spriggan is said to be the inspiration for Stephen King’s Crouch End…

Have you walked the Capital Ring around London? If not, I really enjoyed it and it comes with a great guide book that tells you all sorts of nifty little bits of history and trivia!

Parts of it…… currently I’m completing the south coast paths and have a few sections to fill in. Which leg of the Capital Ring did you enjoy the most?

It’s been a while (almost 10 years) but section 11: Hendon to Highgate was very nice, because I love that part of North London and Highgate forest!

I’d love to do this. How long does something like that take?
Probably save a lot of time not stopping in pubs.

Cool :ok_hand: you should come over here we expect to get rained on :joy:

Several miles around Ruislip Woods (Mad Bess, Copse and Lido beach :beach_umbrella:). It was so so quiet :shushing_face:

@acromouse photos especially for you :smile:

Currently passed half time. I am confident I’ll get home before it’s getting dark.

Update: made it. Almost 44 km in 8h. Prove of principle.
Still can walk longer distances. No pain :blush::sunflower: Only two blisters. No hurting feet. And like a real recovering addict, blisters had to be opened. :zipper_mouth_face: But we won’t complain now.
