bobspace Notes

---

Following the post-COVID return of the “Walking Weekend”, I descended to the vaults here at bobspace to dust down and review the Weekenders content from the long-defunct bobspace.co.uk.

Sifting through the boxes of musty punched cards, it occurred to me that there was plenty of content available, perhaps 20 weekends' worth.

However, it wasn’t so much the quantity of these memories, it was the realisation that they are of people, places, things and me as they were, and upon reflection, sometimes quite different to now.

I’ll save the deeper thoughts for an evening in the pub, but the review along with my renewed focus on bobspace fundamentals and a couple of nudges from the weekenders themselves, has led me to revive this section.

I have included three entries as a start, but over the coming months and years, text will be rewritten, photos re-processed and along with new material, posted.

This content is available via the links in the menu “list” items, left.

That said, and despite the passing of more than a quarter of a century, much has remained constant, and it is to this that I return each year – the best of company.

Many thanks and love to all involved.
