For June's walk, Christine and Heather explored North Greenwich. Heather writes:
"Christine and I had a lovely walk around North Greenwich – even though we did not see the new Damien Hirst sculpture. It was a scorcher of a day, but the thunderstorms held off, and we saw – among so many other items – a Mermaid, a head in the wind, a Quantum Cloud, A Bullet from a Shooting Star, ping-pong tables to make your eyes swivel, half a ship, a talking tower of shipping crates, and a pointer which indicated how far you would need to travel to get back to where you were...
We revisited the Dome – recalling when we had first encountered it in its original incarnation – its immense size, capacity and its ability to evolve into a giant retail, entertainment and refreshment centre. We did not take the climb up and over, but had a restful cuppa and leisurely chat inside.
There is so much to see, and certainly worth returning to wander round all the bits we did not have time to enjoy."
If you'd like to join us on one of our walks, look out for our next 'coming up' blogpost.

I was sad to have missed your walk. It looks great. We should def go back to Greenwich, north and village, some time soon.
