Foot Feast - our perfect picnic pitch

Team meeting in the conference room? No thanks, when this lovely open space is ten minutes away. The weather and setting were perfect for the first Foot Feast, and six representatives of town centre businesses met at The Mercury for a short stroll in brilliant sunshine over to Hilly Fields. With a rooftop view of the town's northern aspect, we had the perfect backdrop for our picnic lunch.

Thanks to Ewan and team at Whybrow Chartered Surveyors http://www.whybrow.net/ and Andrew from Big Swifty Associates http://www.bigswiftycompany.blogspot.com/ for supporting the event.

Walk to work week isn't just about walking to work. For many of us it would not be possible, but maybe we can get some walking in during the working day? A lunchtime stroll could be an option, or a team meeting on local green space?

CW2W received several apologies for non-appearance at our event, some saying the weather was so nice that they had gone to the beach for a picnic. Absentees, you missed a blissful picnic, and the Whybrow team proved to be splendid company and lots of fun.

Foot Feast today - Hilly Fields, meet at noon at Mercury

See you later, this is our picnic spot! The sun is shining, the ground is dry, the company will be good, and I am bringing some creme caramels for you.... Meet at Mercury theatre at noon, for a short walk to this blissful spot.

Foot Feast, Hilly Fields, Tuesday 27 April

Join us for the Foot Feast at Hilly Fields, on Tuesday 27 April, as part of Colchester Walk to Work Week. We will meet at 12 noon outside the Mercury Theatre, to leave at 12:10 for a half mile walk to Hilly Fields.

Bring food for the Pedestrians' Picnic; some for yourself, and some to share. And if you've got a big appetite from your walk to work, maybe you can pack a little more food in your Hiker's Hamper.

We have booked good weather for our picnic event. Indeed, according to studies from the University of Made Up Stuff, statistics show that 27 April always has sunny weather. Put it in your diary now, and don't miss it.
