Went for a walk down the Wey and Arun canal last week, it was a gorgeous day and since it was a Monday there was no one around. The canal was built in 1816 and connects the Arun river at Newbridge with the Godalming Navigation near Shalford which is just South of Guildford in Surrey. It wasn't very successful and was abandoned in 1871 but has since had sections restored by enthusiasts, very pretty it looks too as it winds its way through the rural Surrey Hills. After the walk we stopped for a pint at the Onslow Arms in Loxwood, it was very pleasant sitting in the garden in the Sun overlooking the canal, thoroughly recommended!
