    from bishops road car park past the old Lido swimming pool then through the grounds of Peterborough Cathedral into the city centre, I love a city center early in the morning before it gets filled with people

      My last few contracts have been in Leeds, South Shields, Newburn, Benton, Stockton on Tees and Houghton le Spring. Apart from Leeds, they are candidates for where God will stick the tube when he decides to give the world an enema. So, I rarely walked anywhere and the best route was the quickest one out of there.

      At least now I get to WFH a couple of days a week so the walk from the kitchen after breakfast to my office via the bog for a dump isn't too bad.
      I'm not even an atheist so much as I am an antitheist; I not only maintain that all religions are versions of the same untruth, but I hold that the influence of churches, and the effect of religious belief, is positively harmful. [Christopher Hitchens]

        I used to cycle from the City Centre to Wylam via Scotswood Road than along the cycle path through Newburn & on to Wylam.

        Used to be quite a hairy ride at night and I met some rather unsavoury characters along my way - particularly at the Scotswood Road end.

          Not a walk as such.
          Canary Wharf on Thames Clipper to Blackfriers.
          Walk up the gangplank to the office.
          Fiscal nomad it's legal.

            At least you'd get a pint or two in the Boat House when you got to Wylam.

              Loved this one for the last couple of years-Waterloo to Cheapside, along South Bank to Tate Modern, over the Millenium Bridge and up through St Pauls.

              Before that I had a gig in Norfolk, stayed in the motorhome a couple of miles away, and loved walking past the fields in the spring watching the spuds sprouting, the Hares boxing, and the bunnies making more bunnies. Every morning was like being in the Darling Buds of May (if Bates had set it in Norfolk of course...)

                Blackfriars - what they doing? Cooking chips?

                Across London Bridge heading north very early on a summer's morning with the sun rising between the towers of Tower Bridge.

                  From the office to the toilet knowing that I'm getting paid for at least the next half hour
                  Brexit is having a wee in the middle of the room at a house party because nobody is talking to you, and then complaining about the smell.

                    Greenwich to Canary Wharf via the foot tunnel.
                    I walk past the Cutty Sark, see the Parrots on the Isle of dogs and at the moment there are lots of duckings and young baby water birds around, which are lovely to watch.
                    I'm sorry, but I'll make no apologies for this
