Walk Report

Docklands Exploration, Wednesday 11th October 2017
11 walkers, 8 miles - leader Colin Saunders
We reached Surrey Quays with no further misdirection and all remaining five went into the JDW. For the record, we started with 11 and finished with 5! I don't suppose there have been many if any evening walks that included a cruise!
