Messing About On The Water

A quiet waterway suddenly comes to life as a group paddle their way along the River Wey Navigation, I do not think the chaps fishing further along the water's edge would be too pleased. Image cannot be loaded
Is This My Good Side?

With the M25 to one side , a local road going over the field supported by a massive concrete structure and the River Wey Navigation on the other side the field here is home to a number of horses. Judging by the large bales of hay/straw they are not going hungry. Here is one of the less shy residents. Image cannot be loaded
River Wey Navigation

Taken from a bridge over the Navigation, here there are moorings, a boat club, boat hire and boat trips. If one was to look behind you could see a place for narrow boats needing major services. Image cannot be loaded
Tied in Knots

A moored boat on the River Wey Navigation, which at this point runs parallel with the M25 less than 100 yards away, is lashed by whatever knot that it is - looks a tangle to me. Image cannot be loaded
The Tunnel

The Narrow Boat hospital is here on the River Wey Navigation with some boats blocked up on land , some in the water and in this case protected by a polytunnel and in the past I have seen them suspended in the air by a crane lift. Image cannot be loaded
The Old Fire Station at Byfleet in Surrey

Built in 1885 as Brooklands Fire Station and operated by volunteer fire fighters, this historic building in Byfleet, Surrey has now sadly fallen into disuse. Its a shame that such a piece of period architecture is no longer considered viable, but if you want or need such a property, it is up for sale. Image cannot be loaded
