Battersea Powerstation, from Queenstown Rd. | bearings are a funny game.
i think i've got quite good bearings, and if i rely on them alone, i usually end up where i'm going - but often, on my travels around london by foot, it is worth checking the occasional roadsign to ensure you're not wandering off in the complete wrong direction, and end up in clapham when you meant to be in islington. so imagine my consternation when after walking a particularly steep hill this evening, that the cycle path sign which i was following to battersea had been rotated somewhat, and my wanderings where taking me into the direction of some unknown quantity. my saviour - bus stops and their "Towards Chelsea Bridge" signs. I eventually got back on track, and decided that my original plan of walking home from Wandsworth wasn't such a good one, as i needed the loo, and fancied a pint - so i found the first train station, and hopped back to befnul faster than you can say something that takes an hour to say. |
