• I've seen this too - around the north circular area. Did you stop to inquire as to what the ruckus was about?

    Haa, did I walk up to a group of pissed up fighting gypsies, with my semi-expensive titanium bike and demand they explain themselves??? No.

    On a different section of the ride though I did stop for wee by this area of waste land. I noticed a load of flat bed transits, caravans, scrap metal, etc. Standard. One van drove passed me on the other side of the hedge. I watched him drive up along a dusty track and straight on to the hard shoulder of the M25, and off!
