11/10/2013 – A wander round the Brooklands / Mercedes world area

Friday, October 11th, 2013

Went for a lunchtime wander with Paul

We walked down Locke King Road and down past the sewage works (we have only the best attractions near work)

We crossed the river then walked to Mercedes Benz world

Then, instead of the usual left hand turn we went right and wandered past the MB car parks and their offroad track

Then we passed their testing track and the old Heathrow Gateway Concorde

Following this we went back to the Heights and headed for P&G

finally we went through the gate and walked up the hill to work

08/10/2013 A wander along Brooklands Road (well coming back was)

Tuesday, October 8th, 2013

Went out at lunchtime for an unscheduled wander this lunchtime,

We normally go out for dinner lunchtime, and had planned for the same today, however the road was closed by an accident.

So we walked down Locke King Road then up to the station (that bypassed the crash)

Then we walked down to the Volunteer for munchies 🙂

Coming back we heard that the road was partially open and some traffic was flowing

So we walked back up to the station then down to the office.
