When you say at the side of the cemetery, do you mean the crematorium? If you were following a woodchip path that does indeed bend left and lead you away from the river and the Marshalling Yards. You need to leave the woodchip path and follow rougher paths through the woods to find the gaps in the fence. I gather the route is no longer quite how I described it due to construction work as new access has been created into the Yards -- see one of the comments above.Des de Moorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08533475300522834830noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1666872559007076569.post-85408688186452421422019-07-19T20:45:41.849+01:002019-07-19T20:45:41.849+01:00Thanks for the description .

I was looking for a way through reccying a cycle ride from Twickenham along the R Cranet and went through the park at the side of the cemetary but it bent to the left and I missed the yards completely. Will go back and have another look.

To provide adequate security for the construction work site the two gates on the route have been blocked shut by dumping large tree trunks on either side of each of them. This severed the route for a period, but Network Rail have now removed a section of the fence barrier to the east of the previous gate. This now means that the work area does not have to be entered and the connection to the Cavalry Tunnel is more direct than previously.<br /><br />FORCE has a link to a headcam video of a bike ride south along the route<br /><br />https://youtu.be/_DG3jgwzFZgTimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16965776667657250276noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1666872559007076569.post-72963913909754890802019-01-23T16:41:41.510+00:002019-01-23T16:41:41.510+00:00You're very welcome, Ben.

It's only because of the continued uncertainty with the status of the site that this route isn't yet officially signed as the Loop.Des de Moorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08533475300522834830noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1666872559007076569.post-30599143772897591822019-01-16T15:48:18.049+00:002019-01-16T15:48:18.049+00:00Thanks for this alternative route.

I used it recently while walking the Loop, and it was very interesting — and much better than the long walk on A314!Benhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04931884659480976638noreply@blogger.com
