We walked from Westminster Bridge to Tower Bridge, stopping for one break just before the millennium bridge. This walk covered both sides of the river Thames, crossing Waterloo, Blackfriars, Southwark and finally Tower Bridge. \u00a0We met up with another member and her daughter at Victoria Tower Gardens, Westminster for a well earned bring and share picnic. \u00a0 Proceeds going to Jamaica Moves UK, each Walker paid \u00a310 which provided them with a t-shirt supplied by Jamaica Moves UK, Adopt a clinic and Ellen Pearl Outreach Children\u2019s Charity.<\/p>\n
We started at 11.45am from Westminster Tube Station and walked across our first bridge.<\/p>\n
The walk organiser who has chosen route didn\u2019t realise that this walk would actually involve us crossing several bridges. A few walkers were uncomfortable about walking across bridges especially the Millennium (previously the \u2018wobbly\u2019 bridge) it didn\u2019t bode well on the day because several men were repairing one side of it. I told the organiser to focus on St Paul\u2019s straight ahead and not look left or right but she got more and more anxious and sped across very quickly.<\/p>\n
Several of us have never seen Tower Bridge open which it did as we approached it because a replica steam paddle type boat called the Dixie Queen was the reason it was opened and again the organiser wasn\u2019t sure about crossing this last bridge. Walking across few of us were again anxious especially as the traffic driving across would make a thump noise as they approached and drove over the section of the bridge which opens! We completed the walk in 3 hours finishing at 3.00pm and took the tube from Tower Hill back to Westminster.<\/p>\n
