Walk Report
Mortlake to Richmond, Wednesday 20th May 20158 walkers, 6 miles - leader Douglas Robinson
Eight people and a dog enjoyed the leisurely stroll from Mortlake to Richmond. The weather was fine and clear making it a perfect evening for walking.
Interestingly we passed from the eastern hemisphere to the western one before returning to the eastern one again at the end of the walk or, at least, we would have if we had done the walk before 1884. That was when the meridian line moved from Richmond to Greenwich. Of the eight walkers, one was from Australia and one from New Zealand. Is this the furthest anyone has come for an evening walk? Finally, we ended the walk in a quiet pub in Richmond.
