A mission to photograph the "Totnes Walk" sign

Camberwell to Hampstead

via Totnes Walk

 

Whilst researching our route for the London to Totnes walk we Googled "Totnes Walk" and it turns out it's a road in north London.

So we walked there - and took the photo that is currently the cover photo adorning our Twitter and Facebook profiles.

Totnes Walk is just north of Hampstead Heath so we set off from Camberwell on a walk which took us up through central London to Camden, then Kentish Town and almost as far as East Finchley. See Totnes Walk on a map

We thought about starting the walk in March from Totnes Walk N2.  It's either that or we'll be starting from the centre of London (at Charing Cross, because distances to London are measured to/from there).

"Totnes Walk to Totnes - walk"

Maybe that's a bit confusing to explain!

I think we'll stick with "London to Totnes walk".

Anyway, we got our photo and had a good walk in the process. It was just a 13.5 mile stroll and we felt we could have kept going and exploring for longer but we had to cut it at Hampstead tube station to get to somewhere else by a certain time.

We might return to Hampstead and use the heath as the start or end of another walk as it's good to get a few hills involved in our training. We really need to get out of London for some proper hills like ones we'll encounter in Dorset and Devon.

The training continues....
