Mediaeval meanders with Mick - Mick was entertaining and informative with a comprehensive knowledge of the area and stories that captivated as well as educated. The additional resources he had compiled added to the overall experience and we all came away with new insights and a desire to revisit and explore some of the stops such as the Borough market and Southwark Cathedral further . The walk was well paced and he was attentive to all the party members including everyone , taking photos and suggesting good photo opportunities. Thanks Mick, good luck with your book !
