Commentary
It was fairly cold and sunny today. The route was almost entirely on pavement, with a short distance along an unmade footpath.
I visited two LFB fire stations – Purley and Croydon. The latter was completely non-descript.
The most exotic car sighting was an Aston Martin DB12 Volante, parked near South Croydon station.
I noticed two Sainsburys Local stores within 200m of each other adjacent to East Croydon station – this doesn’t seem to make much sense but it must do otherwise there’d only be one store.
