I ventured up to my Alma Mater in Saffron Walden at the beginning of September, a dispiriting move, as it's all being developed into posh flats for London commuters (which only means the M11 will get worse!), but I had some time, well, I was literally, in my own time, so I took a trip down to the town, and checked out the old Maze in the corner of the park!
Start
Finnish, about 5 yards from the start!
The fair was in town, the same fair which was in Aldershot a few weeks earlier!
I spotted this on a service cabinet/enclosed pilaster, at Highbury & Islington tube/overground station, when I visited a mate later in the month, it is a simplified version of the same consentric pattern, with the start/finish in line.
I don't know if it has any significance beyond helping people pass the time while they wait for friends, colleagues or a taxi pick-up? Nor if there are others, elsewhere on the networks, can any Londoners help us out with that one?
Mazes have always been a side interest of mine, along with labyrinths, which is what we're actually looking at above - you can't 'go wrong' so long as you stay on the path. And I'm minded to try and find/visit one every year, and chuck the shots up here, for a change of pace, or 'bucket-list' quest!

Oh, you absolute star, Terra! And isn't that a nice idea? I'm not going to visit all of them, but next time I'm up there I'll look out for some of the others, as I must have missed . . . four? Three, I changed at different stations on both journeys, plus Waterloo! Cheers for that, always nice to put a mystery to bed! They've been up for a while, too, and it's nice they've added two new ones!
