Pausing at the be-flowered statue of Mathew Webb above.
As you can see quite a turnout..excellent. All looking very fit, clearly all had three Weetabix this morning..
They didn't pause at the Herald of Free Enterprise memorial garden but maybe not enough people know about it.

I try to be neutral and polite but it is hard and getting even more difficult at times.
