The rain was falling very lightly, but that didn't deter me from taking a nice walk into the woods near Guildford. I had several hours to kill so I took an unfamiliar path, it was a little sticky in places but the paths were mostly stony so not too bad.
After passing under the railway bridge, I turned left into unknown territory for me, very exciting 😀.
I was navigating by GPS with my watch and phone. There was a pond nearby so I headed in the general direction using the available woodland paths. I was not prepared for what I found! A very spooky place indeed!
The whole surface was covered in duckweed. I have never seen a pond this size completely covered before. An amazing sight and quite eerie too.
In places the water was encroaching on the path which made it look like a solid surface. Quite bizarre!
I covered about 3 miles in a little over 1½ hours. I felt very hot afterwards as due to the damp conditions I had to wear a hooded raincoat. A very satisfying walk nonetheless!
