Not the greatest of weather today, but Rocco and I needed a walk so off we headed to Hampstead Heath. Delays on Thameslink caused an extended wait at Herne Hill (one of the draughtiest stations on the network) and an extra train change at St Pancras.

We eventually got to Kentish Town and headed off along a busy road:

But not far along was a nice little pedestrian “lane”:

and we soon reached Hampstead Heath:

with a nice view across London:

It was more pleasant in the woods out of the wind:

Then Kenwood House came into view:

Further on were a series of lakes and bridges:

Hampstead Heath station is a few hundred yards from the heath:

And a train soon appeared to take us home via West Hampstead and London Bridge:

An interesting day, albeit not very warm…
