The London Loop

[Amarillo]

A year on and 185 miles later, I have completed the LOOP, including the missing link.

7.4 miles - mostly tedious along the tidal estuaries of the Rivers Darent and Cray.

Many congratulations Tom for such a useful blog and for completing the London Loop, no mean feat. I live in Enfield which is a much maligned place, but I am glad you enjoyed Turkey Brook and the green spaces of north London,

Well done. Enjoyed reading.
Kudos for taking a road less travelled.

Meg wants to know what’s next!?

I did the three big walks in the vain hope of being able to keep up with Ben and Meg this weekend climbing Helvellyn. Unfortunately the Mountain Weather Information Service forecast is so poor for Saturday that we have decided to postpone our trip.

I think I might do the Capital Ring again, but this time anti clockwise.

Sorry to hear that Tom, Helvellyn can be a pig if the weather isn’t on your side.
There’s still loads of lower level walks which are just as amazing.

London’s trees technically make it a forest, and there’s greenery all around. But the city’s real pleasures are found in the urban-rural tension that you come across on this 78-mile route

good article although I take issue with the UN definition of a forest
