Autumn Walks

Don’t you just love scrunching through piles of fallen leaves, kicking them up into the air? 
 



Now is the time to get out and enjoy those autumn colours – yellow, gold, red and all shades of brown.  It is easy to get distracted when out walking now, trying to find the perfect leaf – but how to preserve its ephemeral beauty? 

Of course you can take photographs (yours are probably better than mine!), but there are some other techniques that might be worth trying out, such as Japanese hapa-zome leaf printing and anthotypes.

I found out about these techniques on our recent Walk Leader Training organised by Walking for Health – from some of the others taking part during our practice walk. 

One of the best things about walking with a group is the social aspect – having a relaxed chat as you go along.  There’s always someone who notices something, or knows some interesting history, or has a story to tell about the places we pass.

The Bedminster LinkAge group already runs regular short walks around Victoria Park (for over 55’s) from the Windmill Hill City Farm
