A very visual event with two main characters standing out amongst the Crowds.

| The eccentric explorer Mr C. |
 |
| The elegant Ms. Ann Pratt. Stories and facts about Strood and its history were relived and shared with the people on the walk.   |
 |
| telling stories en route |
 |
| negotiating traffic on the bridge |
 |
| including a primary school pupils portrait of Ann |
 |
| ideas and sketches for the trail markers were displayed, inspired by community groups |
Lots of people braved the weather and were rewarded with a chilly, but almost sunny December day. This guided tour covered about a quarter of the entire trail and finished with a look around medieval Temple Manor, which was kindly opened especially for the tour by friendly staff. Thanks to everyone who came along and walked with us, I came away feeling the good people of Strood had celebrated where they lived and showed it off to an 'out of towner' like me.
