Route-sheets give all the information you need to stay on line. With the addition of a clear plastic bag they work in all conditions. A head-torch is useful in low light (You’re carrying one of those anyway for fixing punctures, right?)
“root” covers London Fields to Dunwich Beach. “root-26” has suggestions for where to catch a train, plus advice, information and the date of DDXXXIV.
The traditional route went via Powerscroft Road and Chatsworth Road, to join the Lea Bridge Road(LBR). Thanks to Catherine Barham who pointed out that a right turn in from Chatsworth into LBR is no longer a legal manoeuvre.
The current sheet gives directions across South Millfields, to get onto LBR by the Princess of Wales Pub
Hackney gets more like Knightsbridge with passing years but this is still bandit-country. If riding alone you may prefer to turn left on Chatsworth Road, then right onto the new section of Leagrave St., then left onto the old section of Leagrave St. and right onto the service road to get onto the LBR by the light-controlled pedestrian crossing by the Princess of Wales pub.
An explanation of how to read a Route-Sheet is here.
This route sheet is – like the DD – FREE. We suggest £1 donation.
Feel free to print off as many as you like to distribute to any one including…
- …Hackney old timers, so they can go home and pump their tyres.
- …pilgrims scratching their heads at junctions in the Essex night.
- …pilgrims pondering a signpost in the Suffolk dawn.
- …random strangers who ask “what’s going on“; draw attention to next years date.
- …shell-shocked pilgrims wandering Dunwich asking “which way to a train”.
spread the Love.
see you on the beach.
