Downs, by Suspension Bridge

I used to live 2 mins walk away, and would often put on some undies, then jeans & a sweater over that, then walk over & sit waiting on a bench. I never waited more than 30 mins for action. Now live a bit further out, but will soon start visiting again as the nights are drawing in.

Best time
After dark, depending on the weather up to 4-5am.
Crowd
A real mixture. some old queens but a lot of fit men & young students.
Watch out
None, other than troublesome old queens, same as anywhere.
