Midweek Strollers











The Midweek Strollers - a parallel strand of the Westbury Park Strollers - go out walking every Thursday. The walks tend be shorter than on Sundays, and try to avoid too many obstacles, but they maintain the usual mix of good walking, good company and good food..... Oh yes, and if the weather is a bit dodgy may divert to an exhibition or concert.


And just to show that they are not put of by a minor detail such as snow, these photos were taken on Thursday 5th February 2009. A glorious walk across the Downs, past the Camera Obscura and over Mr Brunel's bridge to Ashton Court and the golf cafe for a mug of hot chocolate. The return journey took in the Mansion, the sledge runs and the Deer Park before making its way back over the bridge and across the Downs. By that time, the students had emerged from their slumbers and were dazzling in their snow constructions - giant snowmen, snow families, snow caterpillars, snow sculpture etc etc.
Strollers: Janet Brewer, Joanna & Roger Mellors + Osric the Dog.
Apologies for inept post - will try to improve.....
