I'll be on the other one up to Crystal Palace. It takes in the Horniman Gardens and onwards to the park. My wife and two youngsters will accompany for some of it. The lads' little legs will likely tire trying to keep pace with grownups but we'll see how we go.

Looking forward to seeing any photographs you might make.

It might be cold at the weekend. The forecast suggests so. We might all be in for some snow shots, in fact.

Best,

I can't make it as I'm coming down with a cold or something. Thanks for posting it though I'll try & make the next one

Oh no not the dreaded cold. I had that last week. It knocked me out. Actually it was proper old fashioned flu. Hope you're ok. The walk was great. A nice bunch of people and what a beautiful day for it. We did 4 miles in 1.5 hrs and in that time went through 3 parks (4 if you include Crystal Palace where we started). Great to see so much green on an urban walk. I didn't take too many pics as we were walking pretty much most of the time but I took a few that are ok and I'll try to post them on the photo blog page. I'd recommend the walks. Next bunch during the May bank holiday I believe. Paul, how was your one? Sounds like a lovely route.. Bet your pics are great! All the best for now, Delphine

Hi Paul and Ronski... Can you let me know how you get your pics up here. I've tried copy and paste and it won't let me paste... What's the trick? Delphine [/img]

Thanks Delphine, sounds like a nice walk.

looks like you got it work, you need the full path with the name.jpg bit at the end. I don't think you can upload directly here but you can get the image path pretty quickly from Flickr. I like the first one.

Thanks Ronski, I love taking photos but rarely get the opportunity to learn and improve. Do you know of any good courses or groups in the area? I'm keen to go out with people so I can pick up tips along the way. I hope your cough is better now.. D
