Canada Water to St Albans via Swains Lane and the Dollis Valley

We meet for this ride at Deal Porter Square, next to Canada Water Library, and start by cycling to Blackfriars Bridge. We then cycle along Royal College Street and through Kentish Town up to Swains Lane and Hampstead Heath. We then follow the course to the Doliis Brook up to the Great North Way cycle path (Route 12) and follow it to Hatfield. We will stop for coffee at the South Mimms Services, which is on somewhat of a grander scale than we are used to for our coffee stops. We then follow the Alban Way (a disused railway track) which takes us to St Albans. We return to London using the Thameslink trains train service. Please bring a spare inner tube and lights.
