It is generally nice and quiet, although beyond Norwood park I got hopelessly lost, losing the trail left right and centre amidts all the pointless cycling infrastructure designed to make cycling easier - dismounting at gates every 20 metres etc. Other than that it was great.OMWhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16576624894853813065noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8570734860219292199.post-76035176936566448022009-11-27T17:50:26.956+00:002009-11-27T17:50:26.956+00:00I followed your Waterlink Way link to the Sustrans...I followed your <a href="http://www.sustrans.org.uk/sustrans-near-you/london/easy-rides-in-london/waterlink-way" rel="nofollow">Waterlink Way</a> link to the Sustrans website and discovered that Sustrans have revamped the online mapping on their website. I was pleased to discover that (compared with my last visit a few months ago) it's now useable, and you can pan and zoom around the country quite easily. Unfortunately there's still no way to tell which of the routes shown are good and which are not. And it shows virtually none of the London cycle route network, unlike <a href="http://www.opencyclemap.org/?zoom=12&lat=51.52173&lon=-0.08772&layers=B000" rel="nofollow">Open Cycle Map</a>.Nigelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14228972852570724347noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8570734860219292199.post-85438361132196093682009-11-27T09:35:23.245+00:002009-11-27T09:35:23.245+00:00Sounds very cool.
