So I don't care that its shitty round the station, there's a lot going on here and I've got a lot of mates here.

I'm sure there is, but my walk to Philip Lane from the station was especially depressing. It was almost all road, with the pavement actually disappearing - LA style - at one point to make more room for yet more lanes of traffic.pinkmonkey said:There's a lot going on in tottenham hale, if you scratch beneath the surface.

It was 10 minutes of sheer, relentless, soul crushing ugliness.

Yes the river Lea (Lee?) is great. I stayed on it last weekend and had a lovely time.BarryB said:You have also got the River Lea to walk along, Tottenham Marshes to wander around and you have got the reservoirs north and south of Forest Road which for the sum of £1.00 you can spend the whole day walking around. For nearby refreshments you have the Ferry Boat Inn. Dosent sound too bad too me.

I know that, but I fancied taking a look at somewhere new.maomao said:You should have got off at Seven Sisters. Bit more normal Tottenham life coming from that direction and it's actually nearer if you come out of the right exit. (I just looked on a map and Tottenham Hale looks closer but as you found out it's not exactly a pedestrian route).

Quite a few people I spoke too (all blokes, natch) fancied less clothing on the girls might be a good start.JTG said:as it was the first event, perhaps the organisers will appreciate feedback as to how it can be improved for next time![]()
editor said:I'd been to T Hale before to meet an ex girlfriend for a meal at that insufferably ugly and depressing block of big brand food outlets close to the station, and wondered if it could get any worse.
Seven Sisters is less of a wasteland than Tottenham Hale, certainly, but I wouldn't include it in any tourist guides, put it that way.maomao said:You should have got off at Seven Sisters.

The Lock. It's in a big yellow building on the bridge from Tottenham Hale to Walthomstow. It's right next to one of the locks.

Me and Han saw a weird creature grazing by the reservoir which looked like a cross between a sheep, a cow and a horse. Pics to follow.
No, it didn't have the horn. Han's got some pics too, and still hasn't put them up despite me hassling her.marty21 said:look forward to that picture - was it a unicorn?
