12. is London City Airport, seen I think from George V - or maybe the airport station itself, or indeed anywhere along that stretch of the DLR (Docklands Light Railway) since it doesn't look like it was taken from a platform.

Plane spotting.
I had gone to Woolwich on Docklands and then walked down to the river and taken the Woolwich ferry to North Woolwich. They where a bit jumpy in the area because there had been a gangland stabbing near King George V station a few days before. In order to get from the ferry terminal to the station I walked past the borded up remains of North Woolwich station. Then I had to cross a road on a Zebra crossing but the traffic just refused to stop.

Yes
I took the bus from Par station to Tywardreath cross roads. Then walked to Golant for a pub lunch with passing china clay train.

After lunch I walked to Fowey along the Saints way.
