Canada Goose Chase, Bryn Bach Park, South Wales


Such a beautiful setting for this annual event.
Its not often we get to witness the annual Canada Goose Chase. Crowds gather on the pathway surrounding the lake, some with children in pushchairs, youngsters on scooters, couples holding hands, all waiting.

Always held at the height of summer, although not always well advertised beforehand, the geese congregate to compete to be the first past the finishing post...

Waiting to register and receive their entry number.

The Starter sits patiently in position, waiting for the competitors.
Jostling for position they disappear along the lake.



  
THEY'RE  OFF !
Exhausted but excited they scramble up the slipway to reach the Finish.


The Winner takes a bow.
