    Are there roadworks around Chelsea??? Seemed all right last night. I don't go down the KR, though, only the NKR.

    Roadworks? If you mean the ones just after the humpback at the start of KR - they're now gone.

    You could turn left over Chelsea Bridge, down Queenstown Road, then either right onto Lavender Hill, or straight over to Cedars Road then right onto Batersea Rise. Then along the A3036 or A3 into Wandsworth, followed by A205 to Priory Lane and you're there.

    I got the impression Wayne wasn't trying and was only using me for my Magicshine. Seems to have gravity defying ability going up hills (same chap Bassjunkieuk came across a few weeks back?).

    What Cat were we in the company of?
