23/10/2013 A wander round the old Brooklands area

Wednesday, October 23rd, 2013

Went out for a lunchtime wander with Barry and Paul

We walked down to JTI and looked at the old track going up to their car park.

Whilst covering the track with a manicured lawn might look pretty, it’s not respectful to it’s history 🙁

Then we walked back  to the P&G gate

Then we walked down to the carparks

Passed the museum and walked to the bridge before turning back (it’s a mudbath under that bridge)

We walked back  to the P&G gate then up the hill to work
