London Loop Section 2

So after a great if a little fresh first walk, I joined Section 2 slightly better prepared thanks to some warm winter running tights. All the gear and all that...

Walk 2 picks up from Bexley again, which gave me a good opportunity to try and track down my copy of the Loop book which mysteriously disappeared somewhere on Week 1. No luck in Bexley so we carried on with the walk, me clutching a brand new copy.....We were joined by my friend Philippa this time, who has good walking Pedigree. She walked the Oxfam trailwalker, a crazy sounding 100km walk that you do over a 24 hour time period. I had confidence that she'd be able to handle the 8 miles route covering Bexley to Jubille Park. The walk started well , some lovely open fields through Bexley and we found ourselves walking next to a much prettier stretch of the river cray. We were thankful for another cold day, it made the mud a bit easier to walk on. After a few miles we reach the outskirts of Sidcup and join the lovely Scadbury Park. The mud here is especially intense, which is why our Guest walker slipped and twisted ankle. Which is how Walk 2 ended up being cut a little short and we ended up at Chislehurst station heading back to a London A&E pronto....

Walk 2 to be continued.....
