Yes, I’m coming from seven sisters so Stamford Hill then all along Clapton road. The one good thing is traffic is usually at a stand still/ slow moving so you can anticipate dumb moves or filter to avoid.

Next week I’m going to give the canal paths a go.

I'm sure you're aware of this, but just in case:

Even if a main street seems like a pain in the arse, you should at least use it out of hours because of personal security issues on towpaths etc. The Springfield area has been terrible for muggings in the last few years.

Thanks, had been keeping an eye on that thread for a while now. Only ridden down there once but am aware of the muggings. There’s a lot of schools traffic and minibuses on the Clapton road stretch so it should quieten down in a few weeks time for a bit.
