Crossing Borders

Keep walking along the Lea Navigation Canal from Markfield Park and in ten minutes you reach Springfield Park.

This is across the border in Hackney.

My Next Bike Movie

OK I’ll stop now, but this one has a bit more – er – content.

The Boat House in Springfield Park has a nice greasy spoon caff and is the base for a selection of horribly fit medical students who scull up and down the river. It’s also used for parties.

The towpath has a more typical selection of Hackney types.

There’s a nicer caff at the top of the park but that involves uphill, so I’m saving it till I have a few more miles on my legs, as they say.
