Walks: Sat-Wed, May 26-30

Olwyn would like to invite you to the Canterbury Creative Arts Show and Sale next weekend, May 31 to June 2, which includes her own lovely photographs. Details in the poster.

For this weekend and the days to come, here are the details.

Saturday, let's stick with an 8 am start. This is an alert, though, that we'll soon (possibly next week) move to an earlier start time (likely 7:30, at first), to beat the summer heat.

I'm suggesting 11K*, along the boardwalk to Silver Birch, but adding the "the peanut" on the way out (that's in one direction only). If you prefer 14K*, follow the same route back (doing the peanut twice). For 8K, skip the peanut entirely, and do the boardwalk to Silver Birch. And, of course, you can always do less. Let common sense and your body be your guide.

*Actually "and a bit".

What is "the peanut" you ask? It's that blobby-shaped route around the south side of Ashbridge's Bay. A detail is below.

Monday and Wednesday, I'm looking for new routes. Last night, we accidentally did 9.25K, but it was pleasant and went quickly. C'mon, Shore Things: be the change of scenery you wish to see in the world!

week of 21st - 26th May

the route.......











Beautiful route, stunning scenery, lots of drink/fruit/chocolate/chip stops along the way and lots of groups of people cheering us on.   They had their chairs, their picnics and their special cigarettes - so we would inhale deeply as we passed by.   The route was mostly shady, except for the last few kilometres which were along the road, but we had the sea beside us and a lovely sea breeze to keep us cool

 Medals, refreshments and finally, party......  The "official" is my friend Liz at whose place we had the party.

 
Sorry, I'm not very good at arranging pictures on the blog.   But wanted you to have a taste of Bermuda so that you will seriously consider coming next time.

Oh, almost forgot....... walking on Monday 21st from Tim's 2 to Rosetta McLean park, start time 9.00 am.   Wednesday usual evening walk from Shoppers at 7.00 for whatever distance you wish, and Saturday 26th from our usual Tim's at 8.00 for 10 k.   For those of you 'in training' for something, please follow the schedule.  

Finally, in case you are wondering, this is P Dawn doing this blog, as Helen is away.    PLEASE SIGN IN to let us know your walking intentions.
