Despite the weather forecast it is a beautiful day, blue skies, little wind & the freshness of a spring day not yet the mugginess of a summers morning.
Here I am, sitting at a South London train station waiting for a train to take me via London Bridge to Depthord & my first encounter with the marathon this year.
Why Deptford? Well, first, the cameras stop just past the Cutty Sark & then ignore the less attractive areas of London & Deptford is straight after the Cutty Sark. Second, there are normally fewer people around this portion of the course & at 7-8 miles everyone could do with a cheer. Finally, I have an attachment to Deptford & the place where I hope to stand as I read History at Goldsmiths College & my digs were in Deptford.
Well, my train has arrived so I will be back once I have landed in Deptford.
