Cockfosters to Enfield Loc

A hot day saw 5 of us walking this route- part of the london Loop- with bravado. It is part of Englands green and pleasant land but i think william Blake would have been sad to see its brown summer state. Still we all enjoyed ourselves especially when we got a little lost in a magicak coll wood
