Anyway, eight of us met near the Bascule bridge - six of us walked around The Loop, a 4.2 kms walk - and the other 2 did a shorter walk. We then met up at the coffee cart in the car park and enjoyed a catch up. All keeping our distance.
The rain showers/drizzle held off and we just had cloud although the drizzle is just starting now.
Plenty of boats moored

The Bridge being raised to let the dredge through
After the walk we went up to the main dam which actually looked worse than in the photos.
It is nice to get out and have or do some of the normal things that we fill our life with. Today for the first time since the pandemic we went over to our sons house and visited for several hours with our son, daughter in law and granddaughters. We had a lovely lunch in the garden, such a beautiful uplifting day.
ReplyDeleteIt is so good that you were able to do that. Have some of the restrictions been lifted there?
DeleteI've heard that the loop is a good walk and great exercise, I have relatives up there that do it too.
ReplyDeleteYes, we are going to do it again next week, mainly for the coffee cart to save going into a cafe.
DeleteEven though you had to keep your distance it was doubtless good to get together again, and to have a pleasant walk too made it doubly pleasurable I am sure.
ReplyDeleteYes, it was good to get out and about with other people and good for the people with P.D. to have a walk together.
DeleteGood to be able to get out for a walk and to catch up with friends.
ReplyDeleteYes, but how I would love to walk along one of your lanes or country tracks.
DeleteI know you need rain, but it is always nice when it stays away long enough for a pleasant walk :)
ReplyDeleteExactly. It was a very pleasant walk.
DeleteIt is just good to get out and go anywhere.
