Urban river walk...

...In Catford.

We went for a walk by the river...



...where the rivers Pool & Ravensbourne meet.



There was something for everyone.

Bird spotting...



...this is where the Nuthatch live.

Tree spotting...


...we think this is a Hornbeam.

Art...



And paddling...


...they ended up a lot wetter than this.

We also saw two jet fighters overhead...
 ...practising, air security for the Olympics.
(Sorry no photos, they were too far away and too fast)

The Riverview Walk is part of a longer walk. The Waterlink Way... 


...where we could have walked, or cycled, all the way from Sydenham to the river Thames.

That post was two years ago. Now two years on and I walk/run this route every week. Love seeing how everything changes with each season, lovely spring blossom recently.
Plus even been treated to sightings of a Kingfisher and Great Spotted Woodpecker.

You can also download video and sound works made in response to the river, 'Here Comes Everybody', either here on the website here or scan the QR code on a plaque on one of the bridges with a smartphone when you're there.

  1. My eldest says this reads like a children's book. I'll take that as a complement.
