Books About Town - Bloomsbury Trail

 So this week the book benches have left our streets. Over the weekend we had one trail left to attempt. The Bloomsbury trail. One we in all honesty was not looking forward to as it looked a bit of a nightmare on the map. In reality it was worse. The map was really not very accurately done and we did get quite lost. Actually make that very lost. A lot of the benches were hidden in parts of the university of London and one was actually hidden in the basement of a shop. 
 

During this trail we ended up forming a small group who was all doing the same trail. It was a good laugh but it was bloody hard going. It took us exactly three hours and when we finished it was a real sense of achievement. 
The whole concept of these book benches has been extremely clever, some of the artwork on them has been fantastic. It's been fun doing the trails and seeing all the cool benches. What's next for these benches? There off to auction! The auction is being held on October 7th. All information can be found here: http://www.booksabouttown.org.uk/?action=ViewPage&Id=9
