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!)
Looks at how York does to make the place an age friendly city through World Health Organisation checks. Age Friendly York is currently looking at Getting Out And About and residents are saying they need benches to break up their journey so they can get to the shops and other places.

In my defence it was mission related!
