Went out for a lunchtime wander with Claire, Barry and Morgan.

We walked down the P&G gate

17/01/2014 A wander round the Brooklands Area to see that the Wey has risen again

Friday, January 17th, 2014

Went out for a walk with Claire (Paul was playing gold, Barry and Morgan headed for a liquid lunch)

We walked down to the P&G gate and went through

We walked down through the carparks to the museum entrance

We noticed that the river had risen as we crossed the bridge

Then we attempted to walk through the path that we walked yesterday – spot the  problem :-O

We took the track up to the road (seeing how our intended path was now occupied by the odd fish or two)

Then walked to the Concorde roundabout and headed to MB World alongside their 4×4 track

No one was on the track, but the guys at MB world were belting up and down the racetrack on the other side of the road

We attempted to wander back on the sewage works route but the water level prevented that

We headed back for the museum bridge and then saw the water level

We then headed back to the P&G gate and the office.
