Thank you to the 9 walkers who braved Storm Ciara yesterday for the walk from The Albion Brewery Bar in Northampton. 7 walked the 11k route and 2 hardy souls walked the 20k. Reports were that there were a few trees down in places, some very strong gusts every now and again and the odd, brief, heavy downpour. Nowhere near as bad, rain wise, as was forecast. Sitting in the bar was rather unsettling at times, as the roof is being replaced. At times it sounded as if the roof was going to get ripped off. We were all ready to make a run for it, if necessary.
In view of the weather, there is some consideration being given to re-running the walk, possibly on the date in November. We'll need to have a chat with the brewery about this. We'll keep you posted. I think actually it's more of an excuse for the organiser to have another pint of "Kinky Boots" beer !
Once again, thanks to those who braved the weather. ... See more
