Medium Walk – Photo Quiz

Our popular photo quiz took place again in January, in and around Nottingham City Centre. Our 22 walkers, assembled into four teams, were each given a sheet with 28 photos and a list of streets. The object was to locate as many individual features as possible – these varied from small stone carvings to date plaques, street nameplates, lamps and a variety of usually old items, often being several floors up. The photo shows 3 of the plaques we were all looking for.

Each group needed to work out a route, with locations spreading out as far as Sneinton Market and up to the Ropewalk area. A good plan was to have a short coffee stop in the nearest Wetherspoons (other pubs are available), to try and optimize the route, which came to over 4 plus miles for each group. Care needed to be taken to avoid giving away locations, particularly if another group was sighted coming the other way!

Thanks to John Saunders and David Jackson for once again compiling the quiz. After an interesting morning for everyone, in reasonably benign weather, they set themselves up in the Three Crowns pub at Theatre Square, where the winning team was decided, and where we settled down to a welcome buffet.

This walk marked the start of our 2025 programme. New members are always welcome – just use the tab on our website to get in touch.
