This one goes ahead rain or shine?
Hi Matthew. Sure. These days, walk posters are supposed to be on the walks they post (and on time, note to self). Come rain or shine...
Great, thanks.
Rain or shine, indeed...
Steady rain was coming down when we assembled outside Mile End station, which soon after starting to walk turned to heavy rain, which - on the postive side - meant there was little competition for pathspace in the park. We had to (?) take a slightly longer route around the far end of Mile End Park, as the usual route through the sports facilities seemed to have locked gates, other than that we stuck to the suggested route.
After about 30 minutes the heavy rain became a bit lighter and some blue sky appeared (but some way away), meaning we saw the odd rainbow or two. Only towards the very end did the rain stop, so quite probably this has been the wettest evening walk I have been on.
1 locally living walker bailed out halfway along, one other (living in the opposite direction and with her bike) about 3/4 through the route. The rest got to the Morgan Arms at 21.15, and we took the two free tables they had.
A nice group, and all in good spirit despite the circumstances: n=12 in total, in w=very-wet weather.
