This sunday I once again returned to london.This sortie was centered in and around Kensington, as Dan (edostar) make a generous contribution which has paid for the TB&#39;s in this run and the last.Arriving in Hammersmith by around 11am, wasting little time I began covering pockets in a weaving fashion as best as my poor geographical senses allowed. Moving on from Hammersmith to Shephards Bush, here I had gifted a small ammount previously (as with Hammersmith), so I tried to just weave out from the formerly covered areas, whilst gifting any towers I could see.When in Sheppards Bush, I gifted the BBC with quite a decent batch of TB&#39;s. Then from here I moved East into Kensington. Most of the rest of the TB&#39;s were scattered as widely and evenly around this area, probably about 100/120 TB&#39;s. By around 2pm I found myself walking down Portabello Road along the market, which was nice, as I had been hard at it for a few hours at some pace I decided to stop at &#39;progresso&#39; and have some carrot and orange juice and a veggie pie for my lunch, giving me some fuel to continue and a nice cooling off period for my poorly trained muscles! As I left I gave the waiter a TB as a &#39;tip&#39; drawing a quizzical look :)After lunch I had a brief period of fear wash over me, as I reolised I wasn&#39;t sure where I had parked about 40minutes earlier, which in the vast sprawl of London is not a comfortable feeling! The pannick was soon averted as I stumbled back to my car after just one wrong turn.Back on track I continued to weave N/E Covering Nottinghill and then across to Bayswater. Below is the updated map, once bayswater was reasonably well covered I began moving back west, and decided to stop back at sheppards bush, where I gifted a little more including 4HHg&#39;s as near to the BBC as I could get. One the way out I stopped off for one more batch, which were quickly scattered, only to get back to my car and see a parking ticket :(This left me with just 15 or so TBs which I decided I would use around the area of the next tower I saw, which was chiswick.During the previous visit, I mentioned the clearing of the skies when I gifted the first HHg and TB&#39;s into the Thames, I took some pictures of this on my phone as my camera is not working currently. However, last week when I checked my phone for the pictures they were not on there at all. This time, again, when the first few batches of TB&#39;s were gifted some clearing of the cloud cover occured (not anything like as dramatic or lasting as the previous visit though).Thanks to Dan for the donation, and John for the excellent TB&#39;s, which you can buy from (the also excellent) website http://www.whale.toBest Wishes&nbsp; Rich&nbsp;
