Starting point

E17 4JF

Walthamstow Town Hall, by the fountain.

Ride from Walthamstow down to the Air Line cable car, and back via the Woolwich Ferry and Greenway.

The route is mostly off-road, with a few stretches along quiet roads. The route will include some sections of tow path. Leisurely pace, but it's a fair distance. There will be a tea stop and a lunch stop, both at a cafe.

We will cycle via: Lea Valley, Olympic Park, Three Mills, Cody Dock war memorial and the Dock itself, Air Line cable car, Greenwich Ecology Park, Thames Barrier, Woolwich Ferry, the Greenway, and back via the Olympic Park and Lea Valley.

Please bring an Oyster Card or other travel card, and sufficient money for refreshments.

Parking is free in the Town Hall car park weekends and Bank Holidays. Please arrive early, giving time for a quick bike check before setting off on time. The Breeze champion carries some tools and will help if anyone has a puncture or mechanical issues. However we do not carry spare inner tubes, so a spare suitable for your bike is useful to bring along.
