Sometimes you think you've got a place sussed out. You're pretty sure you know the lay of the land and what it might throw at you. I'll admit I didn't exactly expect the house to be struck by lightning but I knew we'd get a little rain, even in the middle of a heatwave. I did not, however, expect half the things I saw on this walk. 

I'm not certain of the route's actual name as we didn't get our hands on an OS map to find out if there was one so I've christened it the Slater's Bridge walk, so named for the bridge we crossed. It's just under a mile and you can check the route out on my map here, going anti-clockwise. 

In between my posts about what I got up to in the Lake District, I thought I'd briefly fill you in on the time I went to Virginia Water in Surrey. Mum was looking for a place to go during the week to make sure my brother actually got some fresh air and I remembered Kiran mentioning Virginia Water as it was close by to Royal Holloway, the university she'll be attending come September.
