Breeze to the Thames barrier park north

We will ride along the Thames path as far as the Woolwich ferry. We will cross the river here to North Greenwich and from there it’s a short ride to the Thames Barrier Park. One of the most eye-catching features of the park is the 'Green Dock', a 130 foot long sunken garden running diagonally through the park that is intended as a reminder of the site's dockland heritage. The 'Green Dock' provides a wind protected microclimate for a variety of plants and wildlife. Two bridges cross the Green Dock and reveal vistas across the colourful, scented gardens. The park also boasts extensive lawns that are crossed by gravel pathways and bordered by yew and maygreen hedges.
At the time of posting this ride, the cafe has not yet reopened in which case our coffee stop will be at a cafe nearby.
We will then continue through Silvertown, and over the Lower Lea Crossing (no prizes for scenery!) through the Isle of Dogs to the Greenwich foot tunnel. If the lifts are out of order we will go to Mudchute, where we will take the DLR ( fare £1.80) across the river to Greenwich. Please bring oyster card/contactless/freedom pass.
If the Woolwich ferry is not running we will use the DLR to cross the river.

Please call the leader, Jacqui Turner on 07456840924, if you have booked but there are problems on the day.
