Four assembled at the specified time and place and set off to explore Greenwich Park and its surroundings. We were met by two late starters at the observatory, making for n=6 on this enjoyable outing on a w=warm-dry-evening. All enjoyed post walk refreshments in the outdoor garden at the Old Brewery and generally agreed that they liked the walk and saw parts of the park they had not seen before.
