52 Walks in 2010 - Walk 29 - Weymouth Carnival (18th August 2010)

Walk no 28 wasn't exactly a walk! It was more a stand still whilst 100s of other people walked by.

We went to Weymouth Carnival on 18th August but before the carnival began, as we were getting out of the car, the Red Arrows were giving a display. We were at the top of the multi-storey car park so got a great view of the action. This first photo was straight of the the camera - no editing - no cropping - a complete fluke!



After the display and a short walk to the Esplanade, the carnival began.

There were marching bands including the Medina Marching Band from the Isle of Wight .....

........... and the Bournemouth Carnival Band.

There were people in various costumes, like this chap from the RNLI ......

..... this blue, snappy cutie ..........

and this octopus/squid.

There were amazing dresses .....

and storm troopers!

There were tiny floats like this pirate ship .........

.... and huge ones like this dinosaur.

There were people who were imitating TV adverts (Go Compare, Go Compare) .......

..... people who had got married just before the carnival began (honest) .....

.... and loads more.
