Hampstead to Hackney

We departed West Hampstead in a flurry at 11 am on the 27thMay, making an epic journey across London to Hackney. Perhaps not as far as we expected but in view of the circumstances it was far enough. Sarah had arrived the day before to Kings cross station to join us for the first 5 weeks. Only to find all her gear stolen from the train. This was devastating news.
We spent most of Saturday chasing railway staff, then Sunday chasing the police and Monday shopping. Kind of nice since yesterday, Monday, the max temp was 12 and it rained on and off all day.
Today is already blue skies and we are off to Milton-Keynes and up to the lakes district. Unfortunately we miss Wales but we need to rendezvous with some gear from Sarah hubby Tom. But if anyone is up for some riding a few hours from London this weekend, drop us an email!
