45669 Posted February 26, 2022 Share Posted February 26, 2022 Morning All, As it was such a nice day yesterday, we went for a walk at the Mytchett Canal Centre on the Basingstoke Canal in west Surrey. This gave me the opportunity to try out my new phone: TTFN, Ron. 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

When you visit Mytchett it is worth taking a walk Northwards on the West bank of the canal as you will come to the Frimley Miniature Railway (https://www.flmr.org) which is well worth a look when operation is underway. If you walk a little further you will come to the point where the canal crosses the South Western main line on an aqueduct.

RMweb Premium AndyB Posted February 28, 2022 RMweb Premium Share Posted February 28, 2022 Thanks for the video. Many years ago I used to live in one of the houses on the other bank. My morning jog used to be along the tow path up to Frimley Green and back. It's also a nice walk in the other direction to The Swan in Ash Vale.

John I've walked it the other way round; i.e. from Frimley Lodge Park to Mytchett and back with a break for some tea and an ice cream in the café at the Canal Centre. The boat trips from the Canal Centre in the summer are worth doing, too. I've been to the aqueduct, but only by car. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pre covid we frequented The Swan from time to time. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
