Changes and updates as of June 15th

Avoid Downhills Park!

Due to the large number of riders this year we are asking you to avoid the park. There is a barrier and would be very awkward to get around. Please note the gpx have been alter to avoid this.

Horden on Hill Summer Event Avoid the High Street.

Horden on the Hill has its Summer event on in the center of the village. So the main road and junction is closed. I have updated the router to turn left and route around the High Street.

Busy around Tottenham Event

Please note coming back into London Perl Jam at playing at the Tottenham Ground starts 7pm and likely to be busy in the area.

West Green Road is shut and can't be cycled.

Note that West Green Road is shut and so the route will take you via the CS1 to Phillip Lane. GPX is updated.
