Longest ever Sunday Rollerstroll makes
it to Crystal Palace...just

Kay writes,
"The Crystal Palace skate was fantastic! I thoroughly enjoyed the skate, even
though I struggled on the hills (nothing new!). It'll certainly be a skate
talked about and remembered for a long time.

Special thanks all goes to [the marshals], I believe, for the never-ending
killer hill from Dulwich to Crystal Palace Park. Just exactly how much work
went into you finding that hill, I wonder?! And I thought you were just
trying to scare people with your warning about being able to skate hills,
and wondered why many people left at Brixton, now I know! Couldn't believe
that hill, didn't think I was going to survive it! But at the end of the skate,
I thought it was a great achievement and it gave us all something to laugh and
chat about on the train home. Absolutely loved it..."

Some happy marshals

 
The Rollerstroll, FNS and Easy Peasy are coordinated by marshals, those kind and
loving skaters that keep buzzing up and down the skate, keeping the skate safe,
offering first aid assistance where they can - not to mention keeping the Citiskate
sound system in tip top condition. Costs are beginning to increase so they need your
help:
