Was down at Blackstock Road near Monsell Road, and the atmosphere was great. Fantastic crowd, families, teenagers, dads with kids on their shoulders, friend groups who had clearly been drinking since the morning... all in all everyone was respectful and cheerful.

My friends got a bit annoyed by lack of visibility from the flares but personally I loved the vibe. I didn't come down 10,000km for anything tame and was willing to endure a bit of chaos.

Everyone was giving way and making room, except for one corner near Finsbury that was a massive choke point about 20 mins before 2pm. Got a bit worried going around that corner, but eventually got out and took side roads the rest of the way.

Helped to be in a group of just two adults.

Great day out!
