    I'm good for a quick drink as always. I'm hoping there's others otherwise I'll be stuck with the gimp mask duo. :D

    A small turn out for my first visit to the Morpeth, but a pleasure to meet you MonkeyMonster and Citizen Smith all the same. Must make an effort to do it more often.:D

    Don't worry MM, I knew my way home. About half a mile down NKR from where we parted ways is the turning for Wandsworth Bridge, which then heads down to the river, over the bridge and up along Trinity Road arriving in Tooting.

    CJ, where did you get to?

    Heh heh, Yeah indeed. I'd totally forgotten about turning left in middle fulham and going over wandsworth bridge :D

    Good reminder to get out on my bike today though. Wonder can I fix all my squeaks...

    Sorry, chaps. I didn't get out as early as I had hoped, so had to head straight home. I saw MM in his Monkey Bones top, and a beer was very tempting, but orders are orders. :)

    No worries, I know how it works.

    They seemed to be rapidly running out of everything anyway, so I doubt there would have been much to drink if we'd stayed any later.

    Having a quick snoop at the news it seems a lot of my route to the pub is closed...

    I take it south of the river then up over vauxhall bridge is the way to go?

    Handy. I think that section outside Morpeth is shut merely because lambeth bridge is closed and it would be a dead end for cars otherwise. He'll have gone past much earlier and I suspect the crowds will have left...

    Yeeeeahhhh, think it will be open. The roads will be closed to traffic, but there's no way every shop/pub/restaurant in that area will be shut.

    Will have to go the long way round to get there though, by the looks of it.

    I could potentially pop my Morpeth meet-up cherry this evening.

    However, I've no lock (bike stored in the office at work). Should I head to Evans and pick up a cheap cable lock or will some generous soul shackle my steed to theirs for the evening?

    Or drink outside enjoying the sunshine?

    I'll be going this evening and I have my lock. We could share.

    What time?
