A sunday stroll along a river (or two).

The centenary event for September was a river walk. On a rather wet afternoon a group of leaders, young people and their families met at our HQ building and took me for a walk along the river.

We walked from Ware to Stanstead Abbotts and back again. On the way we stopped at the locks to look for boats and we tried opening the lock gates.The rain soon stopped and it was a very pleasant stroll with good company.

When we reached the other end we stopped for refreshments, gave our doggy friend a bowl of water and a treat and then returned via the New River. Here we saw swans, cygnets and lots of geese. In the fields horses were grazing and rabbits hopping around. We stopped to look at Emma's well.

It was a great way to round up the school holiday and to start a new term. Thank you all who attended.

This was my second river walk in as many months. I will update you on the other one when I have time.
