Another wonderful walk,I have recently become housebound due to illness and your films have lifted me and charged my fight to once more in the near future walk my local countryside.thank you John.
Same here. Walking is so painful. I wish you well. These films are wonderful. So many memories of walks with my late husband in London, Kent and other beautiful places. Thank you, John. 🎉
Really lovely walk video - amazing scenes, from the Clockwork Orange subway, to that wonderful ancient and modern High Street at Foots Cray. And you're right about the "rec" - with their horizon of tall (poplar?) trees. That Cola factory was the source of the Dasani water scandal - selling Sidcup tap juice as something special. Next time you're in the Bexley area, check out Hall Place, and The Red House.
Loved this section. You are an inspiration. Don't be embarassed at the length of time it is taking you to do the loop. I've been struggling to do the Capital Ring since start of 2023. I'm 77 and don't walk in extreme heat and below 5C. Love walking. Love London
Hard to beat walking through British deciduous woodland alongside a babbling brook with the trees covered in Spring blossoms and the floor sprouting delicate spring flowers on a sunny cool day. 👏👍
My favourite kind of John Rogers film ( not that I don't like the others)! Out into the woods and fields, walking for walking's sake, effortless engrossing waffle (that's meant as a compliment btw).
This is how I discovered your channel during lockdown. I thought I could start a RUclips niche of walking and camping the London Loop, becuase who would of done that before. So 150 London Loop videos later, you're Ingerboure walk was in the mix and here I am still watching.
Great little Micropub just around the corner from where you started at Petts wood Station John called One in the Wood brilliant beers to be had there !!!.❤
I’ve been plugging away at the LOOP very slowly since 2016! Still got this section to do, so enjoyed this video. Plan to do it in a couple of weeks time.
My wife and I accidentally stumbled across the London loop yesterday, we walked from Harefield to Uxbridge along the canal tow path and saw the signs for it and thought of You. ( We also found an intact Codd bottle complete with marble right in the middle of the tow path)😊
What a wonderful thing to do.Buy some land to stop people building on it.Then give it to the nation lovely. Thanks for showing john Have a great week ahead😊🙏
Thanks for showing Sidcup. I volunteer at one of the National Trust houses here in Melbourne and the gentleman who owned the house (Daryl Lindsay) was employed at Sidcup Hospital during WW1 drawing the reconstruction surgery of soldiers who had extreme facial injures due to shrapnel, the Queens hospital in Sidcup was very important in the experimental beginnings of plastic and reconstruction surgery and famous surgeons and artists worked there during and after the war.
Such beautiful idyllic scenes by the River Cray. Made me think of Ratty and Mole. Really magical. Thank you. We don't have such quiet peaceful rivers here in British Columbia.
Lovely to see Section 2 of the Loop again. In my experience it's really easy to lose the trail in Petts Wood, even going in the 'proper' direction! When I filmed it on my second walk I did at least find the right path - and then had a splendid trip, captured on camera...
As a child in Mottingham I did a lot of walking in the area with my family. The one time my Dad actually got us lost was in Petts Wood - I remember being very scared. It took us ages to find the way out!
I have walked through Petts Wood in search of markers and memorials ( including the NT stone you mentioned John). My favourite is the William Willet memorial - ‘advocate of British Summertime). I also had a great tour of the nearby Chislehurst Caves. Thanks yet again John for a fantastic addition to The London Loop saga.
Really like 'Over the Meadow, Over the Stream'. Decent route this part of the Loop. (30:35 - and love a 4 letter + 4 letter road sign - and Mr Doggo at 33:26 - good spots👌Just got back from Dundee, you'd like that city. (Make your next walk from E11 to Dundee? In bare feet??))
Thank you so much for going along the river Cray, the river of my childhood. It was a wonderful walk to take with you. I'm sure you know it was green and lovely because it was Kent. Just because politicians call it South London didn't make it so.😁😘
Hi john, finally got a chance to watch this one, and I'm so glad I did! I've always wanted you to go to Scadbury because I used to work with the archaeolgists there back in 2013. As it happens, I'm heading off down those sides today, visiting the Chislehurst Caves! Thanks John, great nostalgia for me.
Petts Wood, blimey, that's a blast from the past, one of my old hunting grounds, I'm a Gloucestershire gal now. Thanks very much for the walk down memory lane for me...
Hi ! ..so glad you referenced Chris Street ...he's a bit of a hero for all us alignments and earth energy fans, sadly health renders him inactive these days .
When you uttered the words "this is instinctively the direction I would go in" I thought we were in for a shot of you climbing through a hedge or retracing you steps in the dark. But hey, you were right! Perhaps you are developing a sense of direction John 😂😂 thanks for another wonderful heart lifting adventure
Really enjoyed your video John. The LOOP is such an interesting walk for all the reasons you explain. I found it more enjoyable in the summer months…London claggy mud is something else! Very gloopy and sticky compared to my usual northern boggy ground! 😂 Look forward to the next one
Thoroughly enjoyed that. Brought back so many happy memories of when I did this section, especially along the River Cray. On section 1 you need to take in Flo’s Pie n Mash in Crayford or Lindy Lou’s Vintage Cafe.
Costa Coffee is one of my favourites when it comes to standard coffee experiences that are often available regularly, although I used to have a great relationship with the crew at the Liverpool station for many, many years as a trader back before my body gave up on me…
Really enjoyable! You can see from this how Spring's really getting going now.. This section of The London Loop is indeed beautiful, The River Cray for me especially. Nice one John! 🌟👍
Hi John, loved this video, petts wood is my local high st. Looking foward to when you complete the last bit . I wonder how long it will be before you do? Have a great week!!!
Your London Loop videos is how I found you during lockdown. I was missing London and somehow came across your walks and your incredible channel. Yesterday (Saturday) I decided to go back and watch Enfield Lock to Cockfosters video again, not knowing today your video would be back on the subject of the Loop. I have friends in the Cockfosters area who have never walked the Loop. Each of my trips over the last couple of years I’ve tried to talk them into it. Next time I’m doing a part by myself if i have to. Thanks John.
Great walk to places I'd never heard of. We have the George Washington Heritage Trail near us- he used to be a surveyor for Virginia and was often in our area.. We split from Virginia in 1863 due to the Civil War.
Sidcup Manor House used to be the Registry Office. I got married there in 94 and 2006. Morrison's do a decent breakfast for @ £9. Those coffee machines break down regularly. 5 arches bridge at Foots cray meadows is beautiful, I was there last week. I spent my childhood on the River Cray in Crayford in the early 60s. The alley opposite my house led to Vickers factory who made armaments during the war.
Thanks John....When I clicked on this evening I did not know what a treat your walk would be.I grew up near the five arches bridge, we called it 'over the back' The bridge was built to link the manor house with the stables/ garage on North Cray road. The lake was drained in wwll. nor sure of all the details but when the Waring family sold the manor house to Kent County council after the war,by accident, it was burnt to the ground. It was such an interesting place for us kids to visit as there was a long avenue of trees that went nowhere, steps up to a house where all that remained was a foot print of the foundation. Also two huge fountains which gloriously framed a missing front entrance. It would be nice if the huge Oak tree and Mulberry tree where still alive today. On North Cray Road there is another church called St James. As far as I remember the River Cray runs through Bexley, there used to be a mill, and continues on its journey, joining the River Darenth and then the River Thames.... This is the second time you have filled me with nostalgia and joy, walking the road I was born on in Leytonstone, Fairlop....and tonight. Many Thanks...Please keep on walking....like Felix the cat.....Take care Frances rose
What a wonderful walk. The Cray looks stunning, with all that Spring water. Starts little and just gets better and better as you go. Pleased the weather calming down. Love the Chris Haugen walking music, and your Dad's tune. A friend did a walk in Portugal last autumn.
What a great walk John. Thanks very much. Seems from the speed of the Cray and height of water on the 5 arch bridge, London’s had a decent amount of rain this winter as well
My wife and I walked our last section of the loop last week to complete the circle. It taken us about 18 months What is your favourite part? Ours is Happy Valley in Section 5.
Great walk John. If you look to your right across fields at Five Arches bridge you will see an old Manor House (Loring Hall) where Lord Castlereagh died in 1822.
Great walk with a surprising amount of woodland and riverscape. Not far from where I live, so you've motivated me to get out and explore what is mainly new territory for me. Thank you.
It’s wonderful to watch your videos, John. I was born and lived in Leytonstone until I moved to Havering in 1970 and then to Gloucestershire in 1973.. I have a disability now which constricts my movement greatly but watching you videos gives me a lift. Keep doing more, John, I love them.
Hi John, I’ve resisted watching your videos since before Christmas so I’d have a rack of them to watch. I’m now stocked up ready for a night of them. Good to be back.
Hi John....re: Sidcup...in the Harold Pinter play The Caretaker one of the characters references Sidcup as the place all his papers are and should he make it there all his troubles would be over..."it's a very poignant exchange between two tramps...giving Sidcup a weird aura of surreal suburban promise" this is a slight misquote from an article from The London Column by David Secombe...v. interesting read...might explain the Morrisey exchange....
John, you mention various walks you would like to do. As I mentioned before, I hale from Leytonstone but have lived in Gloucestershire for fifty years. You should try The Cotswold Way. It is an absolutely fabulous walk of approximately 100 mile , traversing some amazing, beautiful countryside.
I can't decide whether I prefer your London City walks, or the London Loop ones John. Looking at the loop map, there are 11 places I have a connection with over the years. It was such a wonderful watch to see this tonight John, you brought back nice memories. Thank you as always.
Nice, i used to live in and around Pettswood. Cycled over the Five Arches last week on my way from Orpington Station to Blackfen.Chislehurst has some history if you ever go down that way again.
16:22 there is a marker post in the bottom right of the frame. If you had taken a little detour at that post you could have seen the William Willett Memorial Sundial
Simply a wonderfully enjoyable experience, John. Your narration makes it the more so. And I must say, the sound and videography is spot on. Impressive how your audio leaves out the harsher notes, yet is sympathetic to the sounds of birds or the flow of a river nearby. By the way, the nearest intercept from my home to the Appalachain Trail is less than 15 miles. Walked many sections over the years and it never fails to impress or to be rejuvenating! Thanks so much.

So sorry to hear this Keith - all power to you and best of luck with your recovery
Thank you John.stay safe.
Same here. Walking is so painful. I wish you well. These films are wonderful. So many memories of walks with my late husband in London, Kent and other beautiful places. Thank you, John. 🎉
When I see this area again I realise how lucky I was to grow up there. Happy memories of picnics by the Five Arches, by the Cray, after school.
Really lovely walk video - amazing scenes, from the Clockwork Orange subway, to that wonderful ancient and modern High Street at Foots Cray.
And you're right about the "rec" - with their horizon of tall (poplar?) trees.
That Cola factory was the source of the Dasani water scandal - selling Sidcup tap juice as something special.

that morrissey story was really funny, thank you
My pleasure Alex
I've heard that everyone gets homesick in Los Angeles, because it feels like nowhere. I haven't been there though.
Hard to beat walking through British deciduous woodland alongside a babbling brook with the trees covered in Spring blossoms and the floor sprouting delicate spring flowers on a sunny cool day. 👏👍
My favourite kind of John Rogers film ( not that I don't like the others)! Out into the woods and fields, walking for walking's sake, effortless engrossing waffle (that's meant as a compliment btw).
thanks Dominic
I loved AND LAUGHED at Bill Bryson's 'A Walk In The Woods'.
Fantastic as as always , should be shown on the national TV without doubt . Makes me feel fit , even though walking is difficult for me. Thanks John
This is how I discovered your channel during lockdown. I thought I could start a RUclips niche of walking and camping the London Loop, becuase who would of done that before. So 150 London Loop videos later, you're Ingerboure walk was in the mix and here I am still watching.
Great little Micropub just around the corner from where you started at Petts wood Station John called One in the Wood brilliant beers to be had there !!!.❤
I’ve been plugging away at the LOOP very slowly since 2016! Still got this section to do, so enjoyed this video. Plan to do it in a couple of weeks time.
A couple of weeks turned into 6 months but I finally got there,
My wife and I accidentally stumbled across the London loop yesterday, we walked from Harefield to Uxbridge along the canal tow path and saw the signs for it and thought of You.
( We also found an intact Codd bottle complete with marble right in the middle of the tow path)😊
That’s a great section. Hope you had a great day
We lived in Petts Wood for 40years and loved it. Now in Oxted another lovely town.
Loved the goose doing it's yoga😂another beautiful walk. Thanks for doing it for me ❤😅
Wonderful to hear the Blackbird at the end, by Bexley station. We don't hear them so much now, they are declining. The most beautiful birdsong of all.
Such a pleasure and always great to hear your dad sing at the end.
What a gift to have all of those green spaces and natural areas in a city the size of London. Thanks for the pleasant walk.
What a wonderful thing to do.Buy some land to stop people building on it.Then give it to the nation lovely. Thanks for showing john Have a great week ahead😊🙏
This music just makes me think of you John and how you helped me through lockdown
Thanks for showing Sidcup. I volunteer at one of the National Trust houses here in Melbourne and the gentleman who owned the house (Daryl Lindsay) was employed at Sidcup Hospital during WW1 drawing the reconstruction surgery of soldiers who had extreme facial injures due to shrapnel, the Queens hospital in Sidcup was very important in the experimental beginnings of plastic and reconstruction surgery and famous surgeons and artists worked there during and after the war.

I’d love to visit Dundee - one of my fave RUclipsrs lives there- the great Jag Lives
@@JohnRogersWalks Jag Betty? I'll check him out - have a good Monday John.
Thank you so much for going along the river Cray, the river of my childhood. It was a wonderful walk to take with you.
I'm sure you know it was green and lovely because it was Kent.
Just because politicians call it South London didn't make it so.😁😘
This time of year one thing I love is the wild garlic aroma along those rivers n streams
Hi john, finally got a chance to watch this one, and I'm so glad I did! I've always wanted you to go to Scadbury because I used to work with the archaeolgists there back in 2013.

The sequence of walking the London loop is of no consequence. Thank you for doing it and sharing!
Greetings from Ontario
Thoroughly enjoyed that. Brought back so many happy memories of when I did this section, especially along the River Cray. On section 1 you need to take in Flo’s Pie n Mash in Crayford or Lindy Lou’s Vintage Cafe.
Cheers Sean - I remember your visit to the tea shop
Know these areas well, but I didn’t realise this walking route existed!
Costa Coffee is one of my favourites when it comes to standard coffee experiences that are often available regularly, although I used to have a great relationship with the crew at the Liverpool station for many, many years as a trader back before my body gave up on me…
Ah ha.
What a spectacular and beautiful end to the walk. Thank you John for creating another wonderful video 😊
Really enjoyable! You can see from this how Spring's really getting going now.. This section of The London Loop is indeed beautiful, The River Cray for me especially.
Nice one John! 🌟👍

Just a joy, thanks John

Good morning John, lovely weather in London.
What a beautiful section of the loop. Bexley is a very picturesque town
What a wonderful walk. The Cray looks stunning, with all that Spring water. Starts little and just gets better and better as you go. Pleased the weather calming down. Love the Chris Haugen walking music, and your Dad's tune. A friend did a walk in Portugal last autumn.
Such a treat to see you exploring areas I know so well. My parents live in Old Bexley and I'm not far in Avery Hill. We love the walks and woods.
Always so interesting and informative thank you so much for sharing 👍
Great walk John. Really liked that song at the end.
Thanks William
Intresting video John. Attended st Joseph's orpington mid 70s. Petts wood resinated on your map. Memory Lane sir. 🍺👍
What a beautiful walk, John. Thank you 🩵
Another glorious walk and film. Couldn't help my mind wandering though, to other favourites of your oeuvre. So many, over time. Thanks so, so much! X
Many thanks Kate
Nice to see you on a rural walk again must say I do prefer these, very enjoyable to watch. see you on the next walk.
Great walk john,, recall morrisey did a song called dagenham dave, and gripper stebson, played dave.
Great to see you back on the London loop John 👏🏻
It was great to be back out there James
I just love, love, love you videos, John. Keep up producing more.
Thanks so much Peter
Wonderful. I hope I can do this in the future. It's touching that you can see the beauty in the piles. love the piles.
What a great walk John. Thanks very much. Seems from the speed of the Cray and height of water on the 5 arch bridge, London’s had a decent amount of rain this winter as well
Foots cray meadow is a beautiful part of London - loved this! ☺️

Such a pleasant way to spend the end of Sunday, a new video from John ;)
Many thanks
Thanks
Thanks so much Ginnette - very kind
Great walk with a surprising amount of woodland and riverscape. Not far from where I live, so you've motivated me to get out and explore what is mainly new territory for me. Thank you.

Another lovely walk , it's so good to feel the first sunshine of spring .
Keep up the fabulous walks. Brilliant facts and showing our wonderful countryside.
Hi John, I’ve resisted watching your videos since before Christmas so I’d have a rack of them to watch. I’m now stocked up ready for a night of them. Good to be back.
Brilliant Jay! Hope you enjoy them
@@JohnRogersWalks or you could make one a day, that’d be good. Just kidding. Cheers John.
I really enjoyed that video, especially seeing the river Cray

Fantastic walk thankyou John..
Gauranga
Certain places have a mystical sound, emanating from the name Sidcup is one.
Newport Pagnell is another especially if you loose your suitcase there.
Slade hooton , Laughton en le morthen the latter morthen meaning meeting place , perhaps also a possible battle site of brunanburgh
Wayne mentions newport pagnell in auf wiedersehen pet series 2
You should try the west highland way up here in Scotland! … (i used to cut the labels and tags off clothing to “reduce weight”)😂 great video!
Wonderful John 👍
Nice one John . Bluebell walk in the next couple of weeks ??? ✌️
Pa'lante is a Spanish contraction of para adelante (straight ahead)
Thanks John brilliant as always..thanks nugget.
Sidcup Place reminds me of the original St. Trinian's school from the black and white films.
16:22 there is a marker post in the bottom right of the frame. If you had taken a little detour at that post you could have seen the William Willett Memorial Sundial
Simply a wonderfully enjoyable experience, John. Your narration makes it the more so. And I must say, the sound and videography is spot on. Impressive how your audio leaves out the harsher notes, yet is sympathetic to the sounds of birds or the flow of a river nearby. By the way, the nearest intercept from my home to the Appalachain Trail is less than 15 miles. Walked many sections over the years and it never fails to impress or to be rejuvenating! Thanks so much.
Many thanks for that Doug - l really enjoy blending in the ambient sound. Brilliant to hear directly from someone who’s walked the AT
@@JohnRogersWalks I have no plans to do its entire length. But like you and the Loop, being able to walk sections when able, is a special privilege.
Just reminded me of how wise were the town planners who gave us the Green Belt. Looking forward to the next London Loop walk.
Love the history of the name sidcup - cetecopp high was flat topped hill!!😊
Gorgeous London loop walk John in some wonderful spring weather which enhanced the walk.Hope a well earned pint was quaffed after you signed off.
