We set out to map another area of York from the Wellington pub in Fulfold ("the Welly"). Before we'd even started Katie had been told off for using her phone - turns out its a "no digital" pub - so much for mission control!

Carl had arrived super prepared with clipboards of each map and a pencil case to match, and soon we had sent many pairs out to map all available benches (that aren't currently underwater). With no way of checking on progress, Carl and I set to sampling the beer and crisps, and discussing how I'd injured myself (tea is dangerous children). A slightly lost Louise also joined in the reminiscing 🙂

Eventually pairs started to return and set to enjoying the super cheap beer, job done and with many a new bench mapped (and a few areas marked in blue squiggles to be completed another time!)

In my defence it was mission related!
