The Rambler
Before the next Bank Holiday is upon us, I thought it was about time I finally got round to editing and posting up the photo-dialogue pieces from the start of the month.
May Day! May Day! Excessive photographic submissions and audio ramblings ahoy!
Actually there was plenty of rambling at the start of the month. What better way to celebrate Worker's Day than walking around our green and pleasant land?
*shhhhh* I mean South East London of course. Not quite my patch, so I called in the cavalry, in the form of @darryl1974, as Our Man in Greenwich for the day.
We were following in the footsteps of @TimeOutLondon's South East London walk. The walking issue at the start of the year seemed like a task that we needed to tick off. A different route for all four corners of our city.
North and West can wait, probably until Bank Holiday 2059. I felt slightly sea sick travelling out as far as the badlands of South East London.
And so the basic route was starting at leafy Blackheath, cutting through Greenwich Park, a bit of @darry1974 detour around the historic streets of Greenwich, crossing at the foot tunnel, more walking (and booze) at Mudchute, before finishing in the Bank Holiday ghost town of Canary Wharf.
The complete route can be seen HERE (gmap-pedometer: sort out your embedding functionality!)
I became slightly shutter finger snap happy along certain sections of the walk, not so during other locations. The effect is for the second dialogue piece to display a frame roughly once per second, whereas the foot tunnel leg is like watching paint dry.
No worries - you can peruse the complete photographic set on flickr over HERE, totally, raw, straight outta the box and not a Photoshopped image in sight. I really couldn't be bothered, to be honest.
Walk this way...
Greenwich Leg of the SE Walk
Walking the Backstreets of Greenwich
Going Underground in Greenwich
Final Leg of the SE London Walk
And so a big thank you to @TimeOutLondon for the original inspiration, as well as @darryl1974 for the local knowledge. @Jason_Cobb if anyone fancies a five minute ramble around the Stockwell / Oval / Vauxhall triangle.
