London meet?

Nick Pedley said:

Just wondered if it might worth some of us London and SE based people
getting together for a drink/picnic in London one day this summer, maybe
doing a walk around 'Ye Olde London Towne' (I could do a walk round 'Ye Olde
Harlow Towne' but London's better!).

Quoted message said:

This could be a way for us to meet up and share pics and routes when we
can't get out to the country cos of work etc, any takers?

I might visit London on the w/e of 11 Sept.

We could find and climb the highest points in London, I'm sure Parliament
Hill or Primrose Hill are pretty high!

The highest point on Hampstead Heath at 134m isn't Parliament Hill
which is about 100m

Primrose Hill is all of about 65m.

The Crystal Palace is about 115m

Greenwich Observatory is at 48m

Harrow on the Hill is 124m

The nearest Marilyn is Leith Hill at 294m and 40km distance.

Deltic locomotives?

No - however, I have a fascinating collection of interesting shaped
cornflakes. See:

It's not bad looking down Gypsy Hill to London. Or looking down Anerly
Hill over towards West Wickham. The view of it from here isn't too bad
either, except when you can't see the TV mast for cloud :-(

Simple. D9000 to D9021, or in new money, 55 001 to 55 022. Seen 'em
all.

Flat compared with say Tryfan, but you'd be surprised how many hills
there are. The best way to find them is to use a bicycle.
