#londonsrivers — Public Fediverse posts

In a world devastated by climate change and social fragmentation, our only hope is to reach out to #ancient and #abandoned powers to save us, hope they can restore what was lost.

I thought it was strange seeing horseshoes on so many houses when walking the Roxbourne.
Should I be worried?
… then I realised my camera had stopped working there, 'til I got to the park where the #river flowed freely amid the grass and trees.
Should *they* be worried?

I was planning on taking today easy. Instead I ended up walking a dozen miles of Pyl Brook

Have I ever told you about the time when I was walking down one of the #RiversOfLondon, found the nearest point to the source where I could see water & as I climbed back past the brambles, I read an envelope tucked by a tree:
"HUSBAND/
FATHER/
BEST FRIEND
[Name]"
(1/2)

I stood on #Holborn Viaduct, and dreamed of the River Fleet passing beneath me. Not in water, but in #light and sound. Flowing through the night.

A old-style #FingerpostFriday - even though this post lacks fingers, it's still giving all the directions, including the #LondonLoop

It guided me beyond the end of #CelandineRoute, to where the Rivers Pinn & Fray meet. Wet day, nettled path but such sights to see 😍

Woke up with a nasty cold today, I've realised I may well not be doing any long wanders this weekend.

But I've enough memories of past #footpaths I've walked to bask in 🥰

Sometimes you might feel hemmed in, blocked off. But really, you just need to spread your wings and SOAR.

Taken with my knee resting on a bridge over the #RiverPinn near #Ruslip at maximum zoom so I didn't disturb the perfect #composition😅

How would someone from the #past find seeing into the present day?
Terrifying.

It's hard to cultivate an image as a fearsome and wily predator when you're surrounded by endless blooming #buttercups!

Diverting from the Overground to catch a #Brent tributary or two, I was suprised to see a bunch of #fish clustered by a bridge along the Canal Feeder.

In other places though, it's more #LostFootballs and #rubbish 😔

Yesterday I set out to do the #BigRiverWatch up the River Lea from #CanningTown to Lea Bridge - and it turns out I wasn't the only one watching! Shows the value of local #NatureReserves!

Yeah, old man Lectricity lives there. He don't care for visitors! Apart from #Pinn, never minds seeing them as they pass by.

So, I walked down a #river today. What did you get up to?

Is the #ThamesTidewayTunnel *really* a new #SuperSewer to reduce #sewage going into our #rivers? Or is it a mega-dungeon for a party of level 13-16 characters in search of a new challenge? 🤔

"That's a very familiar buried metal sign! But why is the marker of the #NewRiver Company by one of the #HampsteadHeath ponds?" [Googles] "… because they once owned these #reservoirs! You learn a new thing every day 🤓"

#Sailors and their loved ones left #offerings to #sea #gods in the hope of a safe return, and full nets. What would someone offer to the #deities of pipe and overflow, and what might they receive in return?
