The London Loop Part 11: West Wickham to Coulsdon South The loop so far has been rather gentle, but this section had some more challenging changes in elevation, Snowdonia it is not but the North Downs which todays walking crossed in a number of places still requires you to stop and catch your breath occasionally! …
The London Loop Part 10: Bexley to West Wickham Well is was such a pleasant day, I walked for most of it covering 16 miles or more than 25km, a bit longer than usual and two sections of the loop from the official guide. The first section continues along the banks for the River Cray, …
The London Loop Part 9: Erith to Bexley And I’m back, after a COVID-19 lockdown break, back walking the London Loop, and now South of the River ! Quite a contrast to my last visit to Purleet on the other side of the River on a cold and wet November, instead a beautiful sunny April …
In respect to mobile phone usage I swing both ways so to say, my “work” phone is usually the latest Android device, currently a Pixel 5a (5g) and my “home” phone is an iPhone. I have been sitting out iPhone updates for the last few years, happy with my 2017 iPhone X, but this year …

The London Loop Part 6: Cockfosters to Chigwell The longest section so far at just over 18 miles, with quite some contrast with arable agriculture replaced within a few minutes with industrial estates ! The first two thirds are really quite rural walking through woodlands around Trent Park and then climbing across agricultural land onto …
The London Loop Part 5: Elstree to Cockfosters October of course it’s muddy! Good job my trusty walking boots were on my feet, despite the urban feel to the western section of the route and the dry conditions in September this is proper country walking requiring the appropriate footwear ! A full afternoons walking covered …
The London Loop Part 4: Northwood to Elstree It did not rain ! I had planned to spend the weekend in the West Country, but this time bad weather rather than COVID-19 changed my plans, so despite some at times ominous looking clouds I walked another section of the loop. This section heading East from …
The London Loop Part 1 : Teddington to Hatton Cross Time for another quest, the scope limited in the current COVID-19 world, so no Globe Trotting hunting Concorde, instead a longish walk. I have been walking a lot since COVID has become part of our lives, usually in the evening around the neighbourhood, my Fitbit …

Bloomberg reports the latest rumours surrounding the upcoming iPhone launch, including such Geo technologies as LIDAR expected to feature in at least some of the new devices this Autumn.
