At last a bright morning so I cycled to Merton in search
of where Viscount Horatio Nelson had lived and found in Nelson Gardens a memorial
to him; various roads and a Pub in the area are associated with his name.
I then took a slight detour to Morden Park for some
refreshments and for a wheel change 😉

| Time for a new chainring |
|
My next call was to check out the Merton Priory Ruins
most of which are under Sainsbury’s Super Store in Colliers Wood. The access to
the chapter house ruins was obviously closed but you could view some of the
stone work through the windows; close by are what is left of the Priory Flint
Walls.
Following the River Wandle to where it joins the Thames I cycled on the
Thames Path to Putney, through a busy Richmond Park to Kingston, where I viewed
the Coronation Stone which dates back to Saxon Times, and the Clattern Bridge
where the Hogsmill joins the River Thames.
Next I followed the Hogsmill back to its source at Ewell
Springs, having missed the muddy places along the way.

That new chainring would be about 600 bike chain-sized teeth. An impressive gear ratio, but your wheels might not reach the ground!
