Walk Report
Robert the Steam Engine, Thursday 25th July 20196 walkers, 7 miles – leader Dave Williams
6 of London Group's finest assembled at Stratford for a saunter to the far flung reaches of the Olympic Park.
Barely had we started than we were hit by thunder & lightning followed by a downpour of biblical proportions but thanks to the leader's meticulous planning we were actually proceeding through the Westfield Shopping Centre at the time & after taking cover for 5 minutes, the rain abated and we were able to proceed on our way.
Passing such delights as the Olympic Stadium & the famed 'Cathedral of Sewage' we paused for a short break in the still sweltering conditions at Bow Locks before reaching the Wetherspoons at Canary Wharf for some well-earned sustenance.
