Section 11 of the London Ring from Hendon Park to Highgate

Distance 9.6 km
Section 11 of the London Ring from Hendon Park to Highgate. The London Ring does not go from station to station but as I am walking I am going to do it from the closest rail or underground stations.
The route can be downloaded from the TFL site so I will not repeat that. (https://tfl.gov.uk/modes/walking/capital-ring).
Another section which is more track and park or parkland rather than pavements. It was quite muddy and slippery in some parts as I was walking in January. I detoured at the Finchley Road-North Circular point to look at the 'La Deliverance' statue crossing the busy man roads to get a better look as it can barely be seen from the main route. The path through Highgate Wood is interesting but not well marked and some of the TfL route landmarks like the nature study centre, and Eco-house lodge in Queens Wood are gone, I accidentally wallked right across Queens Wood looking for the Eco-House but I back tracked to the pond and turned right up the slope.
