A Wander in the Porvoo Cemetery

Details

Thks event will take us further afield to visit Porvoo's Cemetery.
Due to the distance being travelled, we will meet in Zum Beispiel in Porvoo old town from 12 noon. Allowing some time for everyone to get there, we'll then head over to the cemetery around 12:30ish.

We'll wander for a couple of hours, and then head back to the old town of Porvoo to a cafe. You are free to join us and leave us as transport needs dictate. Although be aware, we might stop the walk early if the weather turns against us.

As always, this event is low key, and not a tour, you are free to wander off in small groups, or alone, and just enjoy the cemetery environment. If you want to stay in a group you can suggest directions, or areas, you want to visit, and the group will listen. These events are simply to bring people together to socialise, just in a place people don't traditionally visit for recreation. I find such places peaceful, and I enjoy photographing the stones and wildlife I find there. Others may like to simply admire the stone work on display, others may like to investigate the stories and history of the people buried there. It is completely open.
The only limits are that you show respect for the environment, and show respect for other users of the cemetery, who may be in mourning.

Feel free to bring cameras for photography, but do get consent if you want to photograph any members of the group.

Dress for the weather, and bring refreshments if and as you want. Nothing is provided, but company.

As we get closer to the event I will see the weather prediction and decide if we reschedule, but it will need to be extreme weather for that to happen. Currently the weather is looking ok for this event.

This event is restricted to 20 (19 plus me), purely as a large group walking around the cemetery may not be appreciated by others. However, it is a public place, so all are free to show up and enjoy the space anyway.
