Thanks to our local #CapitalRing volunteer and Friends of Horsenden Hill for their work to keep the route thru Paradise Fields, Greenford, open and dry via an ingenious “beaver deceiver”.

If you're walking the #CapitalRing at the moment, please be aware of a closure of the Parkland Walk between Crouch Hill and Blythwood Road from 24 November to 6 February inclusive (Section 12). Our website offers an alternative route.

Our volunteers have worked with Croydon Council to get some new signage installed / replaced / fixed on Section 4 of the #LondonLoop - and to add waymark discs to new posts from our stocks.

Great to see these newly installed posts and signs in place making the route easier for everyone to follow.

The aptly named Happy Valley. On Netcat2 #SlowWays Nethern-on-the-Hill to Caterham, and on the #LondonLoop
Grassy field at the bottom of a gentle valley. Trees, just beginning to show Autumn colours, on the hills on either side. Paths crisscross the field.

Enfield Council has opened a new path between Rectory Farm Road & Hilly Fields, with signs along the river on Section 17 of the #LondonLoop. Our volunteers have rewalked Section 17 and we’ve published an adaptation to our route guidance.

Great to have lunch on the Nicky Hopkins memorial bench on my walk from Richmond to Sudbury Hill. Must confess I don’t know all the tracks he played on here. London, you were beautiful today #capitalring

Pictures from the first part of day 3 walking the London Loop back in January. Started at Bexley on a frosty, low light kind of day. But it was a beautiful start to a walk which began alongside the River Cray.

Photo showing a flower garden in a city park. The view is dominated by hanging willow branches in the foreground. Also in the foreground, is lined channel containing the Mutton Brook (which is out of sight). In the centre of the image, a dustbin guards a metalled path, and behind the path are shrubs, flowers and trees in a range of colours. We can only see a tiny piece of sky between the willow branches but it is blue with some clouds.

Photo showing a canal lock in an urban area. There are railings on both sides of the lock, and low rise houses beyond, with trees dotted about, and some cars parked beside the road to our left. The sky is pale blue, and a darker version of it is reflected in the calm canal water.

Photo showing leafy mature trees beside a path flanked by grass. Shadows are cast on the grass by the trees to our left. A small amount of sky can be seen, which is cloudy white, however the scene is overwhelmingly green.

Capital Ring Leg 3: Streatham to Richmond Bridge. A half marathon of a walk. An idyllic part of South London. Green as you like. #capitalring

Photo showing a dirt track through the woods. The path ahead is fairly narrow, and sloping gently downwards. Lush green plants and trees line the path closely. We see a glimpse of the cloudy sky through the canopy.

We would thoroughly recommend taking in part of the River Crane - not only a lovely walk in itself, but you can tick off a section of the London Loop!

Photo showing a lake, surrounded by trees in full green leaf. Near the centre is a jet fountain beside a large weeping willow. The lake water is rippled creating highly indistinct reflections of the trees. Two slender tree trunks in the foreground frame the image on either side. The sky is blue with substantial white clouds.

Continuation of day 2 walk of the London Loop which took in a small ad hoc worship/memorial spot; a chalk stream - The Cray; an entertaining ‘switch back’ route over a railway line and then under a main road - A2; and some colourful graffiti.

@ldnloop-capring.bsky.social #LondonLoop over the last two glorious days we have finally completed the Loop, walking c26m from Chigwell to Purfleet. A massive thanks to you and your volunteers and business partners for maintaining the entire route. Oh and Yes, the end is very anticlimactic.

One of the really simple things our volunteer team do to improve the #LondonLoop (and the other routes we’ve adopted) is cleaning filthy waymark posts. This one at the start of Section 21 probably had 20 years of grime on it until Chris gave it a clean - and what an amazing difference he’s made!

#londonloop on the Thames near Purfleet - strange concrete barges, WW2 relics used as flood defences in 1953.

Funnily enough we were talking about this at our project meeting the other day, and will give some thought to trying to get some sort of plaque or something - agree it would be really nice to have a spot for the photos at the end! It’s a bit anticlimactic at the moment…

At the end of the #londonloop, 150-ish miles walked over 9 stages. The end is a bit of a let down - not even a sign - but it’s been great seeing parts of outer London I’d never have thought to visit. What next, though?

Day 2 walking the London Loop on an overcast and murky morning in early January, starting by the River Cray at the Thames Road Wetland.
