+1 is "gripped" some southern term for win?

I was hoping not to have to bring full locking equipment (as I only have one lock), is this wise? I suppose there's safety in numbers, right?

Right end of town, connaught rail tunnel, its in an almost lawless part of town where 50+ riders will not be noticed doing anything frankly.

I'm pretty sure it's under possession of a Contractor now as part of the Crossrail works, which would make it illegal/ impossible to get into, but I might be wrong...

It usually involves men in uniform waving their truncheons.

Connaught tunnel is still accessible but as has been said, not very legal. Although it never was strictly legal to go in there at any time. If you're adventurous enough its worth a look, just bring a bloody good torch.

I think its worth bringing a lock. the alternative is to hope someone's got spare capacity to lock you, or bring a really shiiiiiite bike and hope berty the bike thief is distracted by someone's hetchins.

I'll have a mini D-lock and a cable lock with me so you can lock your bike to mine if you like. The lock is not amazing quality though, so caveat emptor (or caveat claustror, perhaps).

This would be magic. I have a mini d myself so combined with someone elses I should be ok for pub stops. Cheers

If it's dry I'll bring a long shackle Abus, which should cover me +2 with a bit of clever positioning.

I was hoping not to have to bring full locking equipment (as I only have one lock), is this wise? I suppose there's safety in numbers, right?

If the weather's ok then I reckon we stand outside the Blackfriars. Might want a lock at the end for the Effra, though.

Right end of town, connaught rail tunnel, its in an almost lawless part of town where 50+ riders will not be noticed doing anything frankly.

Hmmm ...

What about the beautiful tunnel at the old Crystal Palace High level station http://www.abandonedstations.org.uk/Crystal_Palace_line_1.html ?

Also so leads here http://londonist.com/2011/01/london%E2%80%99s-top-10-tunnels-and-catacombs.php

I think we might try and stick to the route, but the keen could always follow the Effra all the way up carry on up to Crystal Palace - it does look amazing

Might join you guys at the blackfrairs

Great stuff - we should be there by about 2.

Formatting Help

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:
![](https://www.google.co.uk/images/srpr/logo4w.png)
That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot

> Quote text by starting lines with >

Mention another user by @username

For syntax highlighting, surround the code block with three backticks:

```
Your code goes here
```
Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.

If you upload more than 5 files we will display all attachments as thumbnails.
