Carisbrooke Park Walk 14/1/2020

Kate (our niece) and Erica joined some people from our walking group on a walk through Carisbrooke Park today.

We started at 8 and were finished about 11am on this unofficial walk. This way we beat the heat and were back in time to share morning tea together before heading on our separate ways.

Once again the lovely old trees were a delight to see.

There was evidence of small inhabitants of the area.

…and past inhabitants. We must make it to that old waterwheel museum one day…

It was lovely to sit and enjoy the water running , the green grass and the roses at an early rest break.

There was a bit of reflection to enjoy too.

We passed under the train track (and saw one train- just a local one)

Graham gave a demonstration of how to use some of the fitness equipment.

This Jade Plant (???) was in flower

Doug kept us to the shady paths as much as possible on the way back, as the temperature heated up.

Thanks for spotting these Zita.

Ten of us enjoyed this shorter (9.2km) , flat walk on a warm day.

and then morning tea at the St George’s Bakehouse in the Saints shopping centre nearby.
