A disturbed night - Nic's itchy legs and the strange night-time activities of the local young inhabitants. In Basildon we had been 'entertained' overnight by cars racing around the large car park. In Wembley the car theme was far more sophisticated. A narrow street with parked cars both sides meant traffic going up needed the traffic going down to give way and vice versa. The game appeared to be who would back down first - it was a long night! At one stage it included a police riot vehicle - we didn't get this when we were in Peebles!
So morning came, Nic bravely donned cycling shorts and paraded her blotchy legs for all to see and we reacquainted ourselves with our bicycles. Transport for London had come up with a super route across to Lord's and we headed East to the home of cricket.

Outside the ground
'Play up, play up, play the game.' |
Play the game - hmm. Poor souls at Lord's, they were suffering from such a severe bout of paranoia that it was almost enough to warrant a lengthy visit to Harrow hospital. We hope they calm down enough to enjoy the Olympic Archery because The Games should be a festival that everyone can enjoy, even stressed event managers.
From St. John's we headed south and a very interesting journey by bike to Earl's Court - never in our wildest dreams would we have imagined cycling along Kensington High Street - so we didn't, we walked that bit, it seemed the safest option!
The front of Earl's Court still looked like a building site but it took all of our efforts to get a photo of the back through the guarded open gateway.
