Margery Wood, yesterday.

 

[Leafster]

I wasn't far away from Margery Wood yesterday too May Kasahara . The intention was to cycle through to Colley Hill/Margery Wood and then possibly on to Box Hill but I got as far as Gatton Park and there were hoards of people around. Something was going on at the boarding school - I don't think I've seen so many SUVs in a single traffic jam! The kids and parents seemed to be swarming all over my route so I turned back.

Fallen leaves on the North Downs Way



Silver Birch in the Autumn sun



The trail looks obvious here but as I got into the trees at the end the leaf litter obscured the path so I got lost (temporarily)



Climbing back to a route I knew I found this huge clump of teasels. Don't think I've ever seen so many together.





The local vineyard preparing for the new season

Nope. Beer

They’ve been clearing out the Regents Canal between Maida Vale and Camden Lock. Every couple of hundred yards there’s a pile of junk awaiting collection on the towpath. Mostly the usual; bikes, scooters, a shopping trolley and other junk, but in three of the piles there were old steel safes including this one with it’s back seemingly blown out.



I wonder what the story is there.

I have become a winter sea swimmer.. so far so good.. no wetsuit... It's much colder than it looks...

 

[Leafster]

Boru, I still remember swimming in the sea off Southsea in November (with no wetsuit) so can sympathise about the cold! The worst bit was trying to walk up the shingle beach in bare feet afterwards!

You are so right.. the best thing is to get in as quick as possible. Where this pic is taken has been transformed by the addition of the steps. It's a rocky shore but when tide is in its between 2 and 4 MTRS deep.. ideal for quick plunge. It has become very popular with daily swimmers this year due to lockdown and people are sticking with it as colder days arrive. When tide is out there is no water. It's brilliant buzz..
