30/08/2013 A walk towards St Georges Hill in Weybridge

Friday, August 30th, 2013

Yet another lunchtime walk  with Paul,

This time we walked down the B374 (Brooklands Road) to the A245 and headed for St Georges Hill.

At this point I should mention that we made a minor error in walking down the left hand side of the road – ho hum could we have used a machete !

At the A245 we turned left and carried on again on the left hand side (yep we didn’t learn)

Eventually we could go no further, and decided to return to the office

Yes, we did learn from our mistakes and walked up the other side.

29/08/2013 a wander up Brooklands Road to the woods by the Station

Thursday, August 29th, 2013

Went out for a lunchtime wander with Paul up to the woods by the station

Initially we went to look at the info on the Surrey Diggers

We walked  up the hill and crossed the road (not that easy when Seven Hills Road is closed and the traffic is higher as a result)

After reading the sign we wandered around the woods learning the paths through it.

Now we walked back and twiddled our thumbs crossing the road again.
