Bicycling the Lea (or Lee)
So that's the first half of the Lea done. Starting at the Well Head in Luton and following the Lea valley along Cycling route 6 and 61, via Harpenden, Wheathampstead, Waterend, Brocket Hall, Lemsford, Stanborough Park, Mill Green, Cecil Mill, Essendon, Water Hall farm, Hertingfordbury, Hertford and Ware. It was all pretty easy to follow and pretty well signposted. Although there are one or two places where the bridleways or footpaths go along private drives and the locals have removed the signs.

The Ware to the Thames leg may have to wait for the Olympics to completely finish to do it properly as the last section round Stratford is closed off at the moment. I'll probably do it in two goes as it's still possible to get down the Lea towpath to the cut by Victoria Park.
