Around the streets of Kensington I travelled,
On a circular route of nine miles I was challenged by this feat,
My first walk travelling solo without my ramblers club,.
Bereft of their directions and presence to which I could retreat.
I walked the beautiful grounds of Kensington Gardens and its palace,
Princess Diana's memorial playground and fountain were a sight to behold,
Up to Hyde Park via Knightsbridge I walked invigorated by the fresh winter air,
Wellington Arch and Apsley House at Hyde Park, symbolic of great history of old.
The Serpentine's waters beckoned on my walk and its final stages,
I walked by the Albert Memorial as it glistened before my eye,
This nine mile Kensington Circular walk I completed,
Homeward bound I travelled elated with my spirits on a high.

- Comment from author about the poem: I did not renew my ramblers membership this year. I have decided to go it alone and do my own walks in the future and with trusted friends at times. Went on a circular walk recently around central London through the beautiful streets of Kensington alongside Kensington Gardens and Hyde Park. It was a challenge doing the walk without the ramblers around me but I really enjoyed the walk.

Phew, I make that about 3 hours walking, yes? A fine write and nice walk though.
Hello Orchidee,
Thank you.
That's right. Just over 3 hours - 3 hours 30 mins I made it.
But all good fun.
I feel more confident venturing into the vast unknown now.
