It was drizzling and dark so I thought nobody would turn up for the walk. I should have known better! Nothing stops the Polyramblers! There were 11 of us on the walk. We crossed Vauxhall Bridge without seeing the bronze statues on both sides, passed the Tyburn River outfall, Pimlico Garden with the statue of William Huskinsson MP, who was run down by George Stephenson’s Rocket, and St Continue reading Thursday 26 October 2017 – Evening walk in Pimlico

Saturday 21st October. Barbara’s Hampstead Heath walk
On the sunny, windy autumn day 11 of us went on the circular Hampstead Heath walk. The walk was repeated on the request of walkers participating in this ‘adventure’ on August 5th.

A Day of Contrasts!
Rob, Rosie Anna and Solvig set off for Hove – a bit earlier than planned due to a cancelled train. I heard later that Barbara got a later train, and did the same walk although sadly we didn’t meet up. It was a very windy day with a fantastic wild sea, and we all enjoyed walking along the sea front towards the falling-down pier, which managed not to fall down while we were there!

13 Polyramblers and Daisy the dog on this lovely 8.5 mile walk on the edge of the Chilterns. The weather was sunny despite the forecast for clouds and rain. We headed through Chorleywood Common and walked through woodland and countryside before crossing the M25. Before joining the Colne Valley Regional Park, we passed an antique shop selling an elephant and a giraffe. We Continue reading Saturday 30 September 2017: Chorleywood (Circular)
