Out the front of NLC and across the footbridge. Along Tollgate Road then Ridgewell Road and into Beckton District Park North. Follow the northern edge of the lake and out onto Viking Gardens. Back across the Newham Way via the footbridge.
Then follow the inner arm of the Newham Way as far as High Street South. Cross over High Street South and continue along the Newham Way until the footbridge just after Gooseley Lane. Cross over the footbridge and continue along the Newham Way under the North Circular roundabout subway as far as Spur Road.
At which point, turn around and retrace the route back to NLC. Then cross Prince Regent Lane and carry on down the Newham Way as far as the New Barn Street underpass. Cross under the road and return to NLC on the other side of the road.
[An alternative for the lighter Summer months only]
On reaching High Street South cross over to the Beckton Alps. Twice up and down [as far as the fence overlooking the burnt-out timber platform]. On leaving the Alps, bear right and follow the cycle path around Woolwich Manor Way [that continues as Newham Way] as far as the footbridge - cross over and enter Gooseley Lane. At this point [ie NOT continuing to Spur Road], turn around and retrace the route back to NLC. [remembering to go up Beckton Alps twice again on the way back]. DO NOT carry on to New Barn Street but finish at NLC.
