Success for walking talks in Westbourne

Walking talkers at Skerryvore in Westbourne.

The fourth Westbourne Walking Talk today was enormous fun.  Thank you to all of you who came along and made it memorable and enjoyable.  This was the last in a series of four September walks in Westbourne.  All of them have had excellent weather and enthusiastic participants who have listened well and made really interesting contributions too.  There will be more walking talks in Westbourne in the future.  In fact, I am planning  a Christmas themed series for December.  Keep your eyes peeled for posters and information on this site and the Walkingtalks Facebook page.

Great walk with ETC International College students

Thank you all the enthusiastic ETC International College students who joined my walking talk yesterday.  It was such a lovely sunny afternoon to walk down to the beach and talk about Bournemouth’s interesting history and some quirky things about town.  Best bits included finding out about the Beatles, Bournemouth Rock and the Zipwire.  Look out for information about more ETC walks at <walkingtalks.wordpress.com>
