Walking Day

Saturday 17th June 2023


Our Annual Walking Day. After weather that has been far too hot and a forecast that threatened rain at the time of the walk, we actually had perfect weather. It was warm and brought the crowds out in force, it was cloudy so not has hot as it had been and shaded us a little from the sun, there was a gentle breeze to keep the temperature down but without causing a problem for the banners and it didn't rain. I've included an extra to give a greater sense of the crowds. 

This is a tradition that goes back to the 1860s. After a service in church, the walk then took an hour. There is a fair on the church field so the fun continues even after Walking Day has officially finished. 

My full Walking Day experience 2014 onwards.
