My train down to Kings Cross stopped at Potters Bar due to ‘a fatality at Finsbury Park’. So I ended up having to cycle from Potters Bar to Cockfosters on my Brompton, which should have been a 6km journey but turned into a 10km ride as I got a wee bit lost and ended up going through The Land That Taste Forgot (aka Hadley Wood). That just left me with a 30 minute tube journey into Chambers in order to be there in time for a conference.
Then on the way back to Kings Cross, the front wheel of my Brompton skidded on a wet manhole cover, and I hit the ground rather hard.
When I got to Kings Cross the train was absolutely packed, and I ended up having to stand for an hour all the way to Cambridge as the blood dripped slowly off my fingers from the cuts on my right hand.
