Tower Hamlets..Introduction to Guiding Course

We are now 2 weeks or so into the Walkie Talkie.. Introduction to Guiding in Tower Hamlets course although it does seem much longer...in a good way that is!  I'm one of a group of 18 very different people all with a love of London and a thirst to find out more.

Tower Hamlets is vast and the areas it covers are diverse in nature from Docklands to Whitechapel and the new to me...Globe Town and Ratcliff.

So far we have had one classroom session learning how to put a stop together and getting to know each other and I've now been on three linked walks.

The Saturday before last it was Stepney and Limehouse with Judy Stephenson

Last Wednesday 13 of us turned up at Stepney Green Station on a tube strike day for a walk around Bethnal Green with course leader David Charnick 

Yesterday I went on another David Charnick walk around Bethnal Green but saw totally different places.  

We are all researching a different place or area within Tower Hamlets to put together a presentation at the last session....just three weeks away!

This Wednesday it's back to the classroom at the Shadwell Centre and thankfully the tube strike has been postponed this week.

I've met some great people and as you probably realise I'm really enjoying it so far!!
