14/02/2014 – a lunchtime wander or how I love the rain – NOT!

Friday, February 14th, 2014

Went out for a lunchtime wander

Walked down Locke King Road and past the sewage works and on past the fallen tree

At the river turned to investigate the re-opened footpath, but it got increasingly muddy so decided to turn back

Crossed the river and tried to get up to MB world but met a 6 foot stretch of slippery mud so turned about again – this is becoming a habit!

Went beside the lake but, once again, found the mud, so turned back – gone off this game now

Returned to the office past the fallen tree and sewage works before ascending Locke King Road
