Not many miles today but whilst we were out and about we had lunch in Ironbridge.
I ordered a croissant with scrambled egg and smoked salmon. When it arrived it turned out to be a mini meal.

One of the challenges in the Mega Miles group is to walk the rainbow. I decided to use my Thursday walk back from my school volunteering to see if I could find all the rainbow colours.
The rain had stopped but I wasn’t sure for how long. I decided to walk the direct route home having seen some suitable opportunities on my walk to the school.
As I stopped to take the first photo someone came up behind me and tapped me on the back, startling me a little.
Although I was quite a distance from the school I turned my head to see one of the children who I help with their reading. She was shortly followed by two adults who asked me if everything was alright. I explained I was taking a photograph of the sign as part of a rainbow colour photo challenge, which must have sounded a little odd.
We parted ways but not before the pupil helpfully pointed out several rainbow opportunity photos.

Over the past two days I have been busy with my walk leader volunteering role at Attingham Park.
On the first day, along with other volunteers and the manager of the walk program, we recce’d a new walking route that focuses on the river. Then in the afternoon it was my usual Tuesday afternoon shift greeting and scanning visitors cards as they arrived at Attingham Park.
On the second day I was one of the walk leaders on a social walk through the deer park. It was a lovely walk and we were privileged to see the deer in two different places along our walk.
I didn’t have the opportunity to take photos so I share some photos taken when I was walking these paths last year.

The day started with a late breakfast in the Café where we had lunch in the day before. Mr C had left his cap behind!
After breakfast we briefly visited Shrewsbury before heading off in the direction of Church Stretton. As we travelled we decided to visit Stokesay Castle and by the time we arrived the grey sky had turned to brilliant sunshine.

I started the day breakfasting with friends in my local Weatherspoon’s, a perfect start to the day.
After breakfast we did our weekly food shop and upon returning home I found a squishy envelope had been delivered. I opened it to find the Mega Miles T Shirt.
This was perfect timing for my planned photo shoot showing me with a local landmark in the background. A mini challenge within the walking challenge was to take a Selfie with a local landmark for others to guess where the landmark is. This photo is taken in the grounds of another local monument.

Todays walk took me to a local school for my volunteering session, helping children with their reading. After the pause in my walk I walked home the long way round. I explored some paths that I haven’t walked for a very long time.
I am also on a mission (as part of the challenge) to get a selfie photo in front of a local landmark. In my walks I have been circling round the landmark but haven’t quite got close enough for the selfie moment.
