Today we had our first walkabout. It was arranged to coincide with the superb cherry blossom display we have at this time of year. Seamus Tollitt, Walker Park Manager and myself led the walk: I did a bit on the architectural context and Seamus give us all sorts of information about trees and how to identify them.
We covered a tiny section of the estate and the walk took 1.5 hours! We identified: Scots pine, beech, ash, holly, poplar, cherry, silver birch, leylandii, acers, lime, alder and elm.
About 12 people came along and joined in. It rained just before the start, dried up and the last part was in glorious sunshine - which sets Byker off to perfection!

A success!
