A rare Monday evening walk this, on request of the other evening walk poster.
The two of us met at the tube and caught a third walker amongst the sculptures, with a fourth one unfortunately missed, who was waiting somewhere else close by.
A mixed bag, the sculptures this year, 15 in toal with 4 being variations of the core 11 though.
We added a loop through the new-ish QE Memorial Garden (which is pretty) but then economised the remainder of the route in compensation.
Not many views from the hill due to the prevailing murk and mizzle, so much so that we couldn't agree whether The Shard was visible or not!
Off to The Queen's (Young's) pub, which had a better food menu than the usually frequented establishments.
Chalk Farm tube at just past 9...
