Phil Sheard's footprints

I’ve got bored of cycling up and down hills in North London*. For my ride this weekend I headed east looking for something a bit flatter. I got as far as the Lea Valley from Finsbury Park and then got distracted when I saw the Olympic observation tower in the distance.

(* OK, I’m not fit enough yet)

There are some great pathways for walking or cycling around Hackney marshes and down the canals, all the way to the south of the Olympic Park area.

If you haven’t been down there then go soon, it’s already looking great.
