Thursday 19th March Bedford Priory Park walk led by Sue

 7 members joined Sue at Harlington train station on a beautiful sunny day.
We caught the 10:20am train to Bedford. Beryl, Joy and John joined us at Flitwick station.
Lots of chatter on the train and lovely to see everyone. We walked through the busy shopping area towards the embankment, stopping for a coffee break by the flower bed, lots of colour and variety.  It was very tempting to stay longer in the sunshine.

 We walked along old railway track and the River Great Ouse towards Priory Park, 2.8 miles, where we met Penny.  There were choices on today's walk which I'm pleased to say worked well. 

After sitting in the sunshine having our lunch 8 members walked around the lake. 1.5miles.

 

Hilary and Tony P decided to stay at the cafe and have lunch. Hilary joined us as we were nearing half way.   Tony P, Joy and John had returned home.

We then said our goodbyes to Penny and walked back along the old railway track to Bedford railway station crossing the Riverside Bedford Bridge.
