It's named after the Maryon-Wilson family, who used to own most of the land around Charlton, including Charlton House. There's another park, Maryon Park, on the other side of the road the 380 route uses. arniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13068830078875310006noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3735748565810982627.post-89085213578556047772012-08-15T11:40:39.692-07:002012-08-15T11:40:39.692-07:00Well done ladies.

You get tired and bored and that was a lot shorter, although I was trying to do it in a month. I don't want to be pedantic, but have you done a 38 in the New Bus for London? They should name them. So you three deserve three!<br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3735748565810982627.post-80743747968001536122012-08-15T10:40:45.808-07:002012-08-15T10:40:45.808-07:00Just seen you on the news - fantastic - what a gre...Just seen you on the news - fantastic - what a great idea. I'm currently walking the London Underground overground which is basically walking between each station on each of the London Underground lines - currently doing the Metropolitan Line and once I've completed that it's just the Waterloo and City Line to do (Waterloo - Bank) and I'm done. I'm doing it for the Lifeblood Thrombosis charity. I've really enjoyed it - going to do London Overground and DLR next for the Alzheimers Society. Brilliant job ladies - well done xxAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02709445380630124959noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3735748565810982627.post-55429790368518684572012-08-15T10:12:39.557-07:002012-08-15T10:12:39.557-07:00Saw u on the news too, good work..!!Saw u on the news too, good work..!!x_ROSH125_xhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18119519971073092497noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3735748565810982627.post-17894316924106608052012-08-15T06:16:33.965-07:002012-08-15T06:16:33.965-07:00Just discovered this blog via the lunch time news,...Just discovered this blog via the lunch time news, and was amazed and delighted to see that one of the "ladies who bus" is none other than my former history and 6th form class teacher, Mrs Hunt.<br />I'm looking forward to catching up on your travels.Lucyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07172675472969652421noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3735748565810982627.post-75138469755900765012012-08-15T05:45:03.160-07:002012-08-15T05:45:03.160-07:00Saw you girls on BBC news just now.

Affiliation means that members of one club can use the facilities (cheap beer, bingo, snooker etc) of another, usually for a small charge. My dad was a member and so we used this a lot on holidays around Britain.

He gets very aerated about it being called GB and not UK, especially when he was competing: "I'm NOT GB" he said, crossly. I had to tell him to shut up and skate, a not infrequent occurrence at competitions....Mrs Redboots (Annabel Smyth)https://www.blogger.com/profile/11270027663691257254noreply@blogger.com
