A group walk with nine fellow members of Guildford U3A Photogphic Goup along the River Wey Navigation. We were very lucky with the weather as the UK had had a week of almost steady rain, but the sun came out for us (the next day it rained).
Why River Wey Navigation? Wikipedia tell me it is so called because it is an enginered watercourse, part river and part made canal cuts and is specifically adapted and made navigable for comercial boats and barge traffic.
