On the 18th of July I went down to Bristol for a photowalk with other photographers that started in Castle Park at the Bandstand and went on to finally end at the Broad Quay Water Feature. Our walk was one of about 900 that happened that day, and I was one of about 32,000 registered participants. Our Walk Leader was Matthew Roach, who funnily enough is an Australian who has only been living in the UK for about a year.
I came down via train from Worcester to Bristol Temple Meads Station, and hung about in the park and shopping centre nearby for over an hour as I had arrived early. The next person to show
up was another Matt, who arrived about 15 minutes before any of the next participants. Others trickled in and finally we got together and I was put in charge of the group photo! (That’s me on the left looking like the biggest of the bunch!)
Our walk took us past some dilapidated old buildings two ruined churches and Bristol Meads Station, past St. Mary’s Church, Queen Square, and finally the Broad Quay Water Feature.
This was a great group and I really enjoyed meeting everyone! Many of the photos taken that day can be seen on Flickr in the Bristol Photo Walk pool. There were a lot of excellent photographers there. I would highly recommend this walk to anyone interested in Photography! I will be looking out for it next year, no matter where I am living at that time!
Cheers!
