In addition we had time to visit 3 churches, 1 secret garden, and 1 roof top with time to have a 20mins tea break on a terrace overlooking the Thames.
Not the usual LDWA walk so special thanks to those who took part so enthusiastically. I thoroughly enjoyed myself and I hope you did.
Next time we will aim for 200 changes of direction not including a spiral staircase of 311 steps, therefore no alcohol before or during.
