Yeah, about 1.5 - 2 miles Enfield to Waltham Abbey (The canal is halfway between Waltham Abbey (nice town), and Waltham Cross (shit-hole basically, but where the train goes to)).
).
all distances are on this map - each number is a km marker, 0 being hackney wick http://www.mapometer.com/cycling/route_3919079.html
Yeah. I'd literally be coming out on a train and trying to coincide with a pub break and then trying to get people to stay in the pub. I'm not doing any walking or cycling ablebodied nonsense tho. So I'll keep an eye on what the plan turns into but I'm unlikely.

You'll enjoy the brewery .Yeah, about 1.5 - 2 miles Enfield to Waltham Abbey (The canal is halfway between Waltham Abbey (nice town), and Waltham Cross (shit-hole basically, but where the train goes to)).
A further 4.5 miles or so to Broxbourne. Quick if you stick to the canal, but there's a lovely winding route that takes you through marsh land and nature reserves to the east of the canal. I'd allow a couple of hours for that (it's even possible to get lost there
so hopefully some other walking types are up for it and have a better sense of direction than I do... 5t3IIa and marty21 and any other walking types...?
the wiggly bit is optional (you can stay on the canal which is straight)
and what was wrong with last time, hmmm?If it turns out anything like our last efforts (I'm kind of hoping it doesn't this time
That's a good shout. We ended up in there on one of our other runs. Dobbs Weir is lovely too:
The company was excellentand what was wrong with last time, hmmm?
The drinking was professional-standard. The cycling was a bit lacking, to be honest 
.
id lower your expectations even further AKA!The company was excellent
we've already got two who have broken off and decided to do the whole thing backwards!Do you mean of the company?
I think we're winning them back around

It might seem unlikely, but that's where the photo in the OP (taken by ska invita ) was taken.
Welcome to 'The Essential Tension' that informs these rides. For some the essential lubricant is Shimano Premium Grease, for others the essential lubricant is Murphy's Stout (for others still it's Crisco, but let's not even go there...
).
I shouldn't worry about it too much. People cycle at different paces. We tend to wait for each other at pubs and cafes. It all works out in the end.
Why not do the walk up to Broxbourne (or Dobbs Weir), then train it to Tottenham Hale (13 mins) ?For those without bikes could we have a walk & a ride that both end up at the brewery? For those walking I think it would be better to head out of town and walk towards the goal (Beavertown) Something to aim for.
?! [emoji15] [emoji3]
last time there were 6 of us i think...my mate had a piece of shit bike and kept everyone up! sometimes people burned up ahead and stopped to wait for others to catch up... i think the bigger the group the less about getting lots of miles done it is...
I'm sorry. I thought you were being sarcastic. My apologies.
which is fine too - important thing is to be there and not be square
