26/02/17: Whetstone and Totteridge

Up, past the Orange Tree pub, into Totteridge village, there was evidence of Storm Doris with some branches and fences down. The wet roads roared as the cars went past: I tried to imagine how peaceful and idyllic Totteridge might be with no traffic. After passing St. Andrews Church (1), the war memorial (2) and a few joggers, we joined Barnet Lane (3).

We followed the road down past the Totteridge Academy ("The best in everyone™") (4) and the Barnet Table Tennis Centre (very tempted to join) (5) to the closed-down Underhill Stadium (former home to Barnet Football Club) (6).

From there it was a slightly uneventful walk back along the grey roads past a couple of attractive, rusting old cars (7) to the edge of Brook Farm Open Space, and over the railway bridge (8) into Whetstone.

The suburban streets we explored offered little of interest, although a few notes of a saxophone could be heard drifting on the wind. After a visit to the cashpoint on the High Road, it was a weary trudge down the hill, past the tube, past the village notice board advertising a Dame Vera Lynn "tea party" (9), past a "7" birthday balloon flapping in a tree, and home.
