Kilham Survey

2XFebruary 2022 by Derick Rethans

Route description

This route is nearly the same as Kilham one, but avoids some problems: - The original route in Swiss Cottage goes through a wall and private parking places, but going further down College Crescent and passing the footpath squeezing past the tube station you avoid that. I don't like walking through walls. - It avoids the Abbey Estate, with a fence that can be locked, and I also found not a particularly safe route later in the day with low light. Instead it goes along Belsize Road. I did consider doing that all the way from South Hampstead, but the Alexandra and Ainsley estate is too iconic to miss.
