Rusevelt Posted June 21, 2007 Report Share Posted June 21, 2007 (edited) 20mins train from london bridge to lewisham station. 7-8mins ride up lewisham rd (northbound) to lethbridge close, near sparta st (london A-Z map). there are three other spots in the area. Hopefully around mid july-august. give riders some time to plan after Big Leeds ride on sunday 1st july 2007.

Rusevelt Posted June 21, 2007 Author Report Share Posted June 21, 2007 (edited) Or you can do a little climbing on this mega structure (left pic) which is in the middle of a roundabout in the lewisham town centre. so everyone will see you unfortunately. Or detour towards north side of the greenwich Cutty Sark (near canary wharf) and tackle this gap monster. Tim.R managed 11 out of 14 logs before he was worn out.Or try this insane line over the river thames (far right pic canary wharf again).

Fixed Pants™ Posted June 21, 2007 Report Share Posted June 21, 2007 (edited) Ruse, you've got some bollocks, i'm shit scared of places like lewisham and E&C. Have you never had any trouble there?Looks amazing though, but a bit too good for me, not sure if i'd be able to get up ontop of the walls there, 1ft is max.Oh and Joe Elding used to live in lewisham, if you're interested.

Bionic Balls Posted June 21, 2007 Report Share Posted June 21, 2007 it's just such an ARSE to get to! what's the nearest tubes? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

modman Posted June 22, 2007 Report Share Posted June 22, 2007 the spots look well good, but lewisham doesn't have the greatest reputation in london, and i just wouldn't wanna risk it, especially with all the stabbings and shootings etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rusevelt Posted June 22, 2007 Author Report Share Posted June 22, 2007 (edited) Lewisham is tame, specifically the two illustrated locations during the day time. sundays are fine for riding, its only friday saturday nights you wanna say well clear. anyway the locals (very very rarely seen at the estate) youths wont think to bother me as them know ill take them out. Nearest tube is either New Cross gate, or New Cross with a little 10-15min ride to lewisham. as i said before, sunday morning/afternoons are fine but friday saturday evenings is a no no...unless you carry a knife, gun, or do martial arts!

Joe_Elding Posted June 22, 2007 Report Share Posted June 22, 2007 yeh lewishams not as bad as the reputation makes it out to be. can think of many places that are worse.id be up for a ride..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rusevelt Posted June 22, 2007 Author Report Share Posted June 22, 2007 (edited) Or if you fancy something a little bit easier with one or two techy and biggy stuff, then this one in near Plumstead Station has some interesting lines. one of a few that i tried to get Neil Tunnicliffe down during his week long time in london docklands.The right pic (for more technical trialsters) is 5mins from Woolwich Arsenal station and 10mins from the plumstead site. this one can only be ridden on sundays to avoid security/community police.

Bionic Balls Posted June 22, 2007 Report Share Posted June 22, 2007 new cross? that's on the east london line which appears to be "part time"....just...a mission to..and a mission from! can you get the train from waterloo (national rail?)adam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rusevelt Posted June 22, 2007 Author Report Share Posted June 22, 2007 (edited) lewisham is on network southeast london railway. Anyway ill post more specific details next month when everyone is gearing up for the next london ride. this stuff is just a teaser of what members can expect to ride on. this location pic is between woolwich and new thamesmead (not to be confused with old thamesmead) along the river thames. not much to do on this stuff accept climbing and dropping down. The right pic is just good for mucking about with spinning and flicking tricks. bottom left pic is just a bit of a challenge of riding something unusual. again new thamesmead.

N.Wood Posted June 22, 2007 Report Share Posted June 22, 2007 Trains from Cannon Street go through Lewisham towards Hayes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rusevelt Posted June 23, 2007 Author Report Share Posted June 23, 2007 (edited) Not all trains from Canon Street station, go through lewisham. otherwise just change at london bridge for a connecting train. just adding a few pics this one betwen woolwich and plumstead again. relatively simply balance line with a gap although right side of the wall is 10-15ft drop to the car park entrance.

Rusevelt Posted June 23, 2007 Author Report Share Posted June 23, 2007 (edited) Bottom pic is for you bunnyhop manual freaks. unfortunately some dumb arse skaters managed to shift a piece of the curved concrete bench on its side. so now you gotta gap to deal with.(Woolwich town) Edited June 23, 2007 by Rusevelt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fixed Pants™ Posted June 23, 2007 Report Share Posted June 23, 2007 That concrete block, i'm sure with my awesome strength we can topple it back over Spots look good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rusevelt Posted June 23, 2007 Author Report Share Posted June 23, 2007 (edited) Another random pic. somewhere on Old Kent Road between past New Cross gate heading westbound. its gonna take me some time to sort out these photos for a july-august london ride. Bottom pic london docklands i think. ill find out by july. Bottom right plumstead. just hit the tree a speed and drop down. this tree was at a higher angle last year now is a bit easier. logging out now, gotta retake the pic of a line Neil Tunnicliffle was pretty keen on checking out but missed the cut with his Land Rover commitments. bye4now.
