#walking #London #CapitalRing

#ThrowbackThursday #TBT 9 years ago today we walked another section of the #CapitalRing route, this time through #HackneyWick in #EastLondon, near the Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park. The #canal is the #RiverLeeNavigation. Londoners, did you know that the un-canalised #river is spelled Lea whereas the canalised sections are spelled Lee? The more you know ...
I believe this old #warehouse now belongs to #No90 Hackney Wick, an expansive dining, arts, and nightlife venue, complete with a bar, restaurant, canal-side terrace, two studios/club rooms, and a #narrowboat. 🤔

A canal-side scene featuring a large industrial-style building with a prominent 'LONDON Tradition' sign on its side. The building is grey, multi-storeyed, and has several windows and external staircases. In front of the building, there is a wooden deck area with makeshift fencing, potted plants, and graffiti art. The calm canal water reflects the building and deck, creating a mirror-like effect. To the left, a narrowboat painted in blue and red is moored along the canal edge, with another boat partially visible. The scene captures a mix of urban and waterway life, with a slightly overcast sky and greenery in the background.

This Sunday we have the third part of our Capital Ring Series, all welcome join us!

A bottle of shoe-stones. #Memories of #paths I've #walked.

Perhaps uncomfortable when picked up, now they make me think of #ThamesPath London's other rivers, the #CapitalRing, #LondonLoop, walks with @Metwalkers & the thousands of interesting parts of #London I've found for myself.

A squareish vinegar bottle without a lid is filled with stones of different sizes, and a single metal screw.

Nick insisted that the route under #Woolwich Ferry Road was "a right of way, part of the #ThamesPath, #CapitalRing and that he was damn well going to #walk it!"
Wonder how he's doing… 😉

#TellingStories #LoveLondonWalkLondon #ThamesPath #photography #London

A path is part submerged beneath water, muddy and reedy along the rest, there's a series of footprints in the mud leading up to the water. It's bounded on one side by a tall concrete wall, and on the other by a shorter wall keeping and railing, with a river on the other side.

Todays walk takes us along the #CapitalRing including:

I know finishing #walking the #CapitalRing today is awesome, but I'm impressed they craned a #halo up round the #sun just for me! 🥰

Almost missed it—thank you strangers who spotted my camera & pointed it out I'm used to looking for views lower down!

A halo surrounds the sun, which is itself slightly less bright/definite due to thin cloud high in the sky. Immediately below the bottom of the halo is a crane and platform.

"Not that way today. Wild #swimming is not a good way to #walk…"
Fortunately, it was only a short bit of the #CapitalRing / #ThamesPath that was submerged near #Richmond when I passed by, and there was an easy diversion.

Black and white photo of a stretch of path next to a river that is submerged by high water. A 'fingerpost' sign points away from the water, with 'Capital Ring' written on its sign, and a Thames Path sticker on the post itself.

🎶"Oh little lost fingerpost, where are you pointing?"🎵
The world shifts—especially on a route as long as the #CapitalRing !

A tree blocks one's way, the other is now the wrong side of a fence. But both still helped me find my way 👉

This is where the bad #plants go.
#WrongLondon permits only so much resistance. Where life thrashes against it too strongly, the #city enfolds and contains it.

Behind a padlocked metal gate, there is a large area of overgrown brambles and other undergrowth, surrounded by fences, with leafless trees overlooking.
