The Old Dairy has been boarded up. To protect itself from burglary? Is the post-apocalyptic street lawlessness upon us already?

Sutent · March 2020

We are being mugged for our NHS badges. My colleagues have been coughed and spat by the public

krappyrubsnif · March 2020

I hope anyone caught doing this goes away for a very long time, in a rat-infested, damp, urine-stinking cellar. Or am I being too lenient?

conformable_kate · March 2020

No, the empties were still there. Damn, I suppose I'll have to contact them. All this life admin is very wearing (while obviously in the larger scheme of things etc)

LukeG · March 2020

Sutent, that is shameful. Do you reckon people are getting passes to get into hospitals to nick equipment?

HolbornFox · March 2020

I've been avoiding Parkland Walk, I am concerned that the virus (spores?) could be suspended on the thinner sections.

Are they not boarding up pubs to stop squatters?

Sutent · March 2020

@LukeG to get discount food from leon and front of the supermarket queue

@maz i've noticed that Haringey Council has put up large banners at every entrance to Parkland Walk remining people to social distance by at least 2 metres to save lives. Still some joggers ignoring, but seemed a little better today. The bridge to Finsbury Park has also now been closed as it is much less than 2 metres wide.

Does anyone have any ideas for walking destinations up to an hour away from us? Already done Ally Pally, Queens wood, Highgate wood, 'Suicide' Bridge etc.. Any other parks or hidden open spaces?

rikki · March 2020

@maz One way to deal with social distancing in parks etc

It should be called Physical Distancing

LukeG · March 2020

@slats go to Woodberry down via Finsbury park and the canal

HolbornFox · March 2020

Also the back of the reservoirs at Tottenham, absolutely beautiful, google Walthamstow Marshes.

Coldfall Wood and field: pretty quiet

krappyrubsnif · March 2020

Some post has turned up in Lorne Road. The newspaper in the bundle is two weeks old so there must be quite a backlog to catch up on. It will be interesting to read if the predictoins made two weeks ago have come true or not !

libertyhall · April 2020

hats off to Ed who runs the Stroud Green farmers market who has completely transformed their operation to follow social distancing and delivering to people who need the service

tricksy · April 2020

Yes: he is brilliant

thompson · April 2020

Those of us who have been well looked-after at one time or another by the Whittington should think about supporting the staff - there is now a JustGiving page:

kreuzkav · April 2020

https://shelford.org/walks/newriver.pdf Goes on more than an hour from Stroud Green but It's interesting in most parts.

I've shared the Forty Walks from Ally Pally on Twitter with the hashtag #fortywalks. There's an index page, and I've photographed and shared some of the actual walk pages on request and can do others if anyone asks.

tricksy · April 2020

I'm posting a message from Cathy Meus, chair of the Parkland Walk about the risks of closure of the Parkland Walk if users don't observe the physical distancing rule: "Hi all - I would like to put out an important message to all users of the Parkland Walk. This important lifeline for our physical and mental wellbeing is being put at risk by a small minority of thoughtless users. Please could all people who use the Parkland Walk - walkers, runners, cyclists, dog-walkers - be sure to observe social distancing, for your own safety and that of others. In particular, runners and cyclists, please don't crowd walkers in your efforts to maintain your speed. Personal targets are less important that the health and safety of others - and yourselves. And run in single file where you encounter other users. Thank you and stay well - Cathy, Chair, Friends of the Parkland Walk.

Pls share across your networks. Thanks

A runner ran in to me on there the other day and shouted "get out of the fucking way". As far as I could work out he didn't want to move off the centre line.

Peter Crumb · April 2020

Wow. I'm a runner and either go out very early or do laps of Wray Crescent. Parkland walk I wouldn't even consider.

grenners · April 2020

I'm a runner and I'm not going to use parkland walk anymore I'm going to Finsbury park where I can run down the middle of the carriageway as far as possible from others. Very difficult to run or walk on Parkland Walk and keep distances or get up very early (unlikely).

rikki · April 2020

Thanks @grenners - seems eminently sensible and civic minded. and @Peter Crumb too

Peter Crumb · April 2020

Post two days in a row here.

krappyrubsnif · April 2020

Yes post getting through in Lorne Road now

oddbod · April 2020

Anyone know what that recorded voice trundling around the neighbourhood is saying? Presumably something along the lines of, “don’t be a nob.. stay at home”

krappyrubsnif · April 2020

I thought they might be selling fish carpets or timeshares

Howdy, Stranger!
