Going for a walk with Thirdrockfromthesun

The other day, me and Thirdrock got bored and decided to take a wander around the place. I'd read about an old train track which used to run between mine and Thirdrock's locations, so we met up and decided to see what was left of it. Unfortunately there were no tracks left, but there was a cool tunnel/bridge which the tracks would run over.



Here's the tunnel from the inside. I admire the brickwork and how long it must have taken to build something like this. Pretty awesome.



Next to the tunnel/bridge was this waterway, which shares similar brickwork.



We eventually found a way up to the top of the bridge. It doesn't look very high from the picture, but it made me feel a little woosy when looking over the edge - especially as it had no walls and some slippery gravel underfoot.



Making our way to the other side so we could look over the edge. There was a bunch of these concrete blocks scattered around the place which was interesting. Not sure what they were used for - any ideas?



Here's what it looked like when looking over the edge at the other side of the bridge...



Still on top of the bridge, we turned right and headed into a small clearing. Looks like someone had been having a BBQ, and they'd drunk a whole fucking BOX of Capri Sun drinks. WTF?



Here's the BBQ... Looks tasty.



We also found a barrel of solvent degreaser laying in the undergrowth. Looks nice and environmentally damaging



We got bored and eventually began our trek back the other way, along the trail where the train track would have once laid. Now it's overgrown as fuck, but it's cool to think that a train used to run there. I was wearing shorts, which was a baaaaaad idea. Lots of stinging nettles :thumbsdown:



Poking my camera into the nearby foliage, I discovered that we had walked right past a golf course. If you look closely, you can see someone carrying their clubs across the course. I kept my eyes out for stray golf balls but couldn't find any



Finally, we came to a clearing and I could remove the thorns from my legs :mad: Fucking undergrowth. Looking past the clearing, you can see that it clearly gets overgrown once again though :facepalm:



Hey look, a field. I wonder if we can make it through the hedge and into there... Definitely a much easier way to walk.



Sure enough, we found a way through and into this nice cornfield. Luckily the corn hasn't grown yet, so it's just a bunch of green shit to walk on. Much better than the overgrown path from before



See the hedgerow on the horizon in my previous picture? Well, we walked over the field and ended up there. Behind the hedgerow was this pathway with some houses on the left. Pretty nice place to live.



We came across some CP, hidden in the bush!



We walked through some woods and eventually emerged into this nice looking meadow. Must be a good place to go and chill, and I enjoyed wandering through there with the sun burning the fuck out of me



Finally, we went back into civilization and found an old CRT monitor on the floor.





And that concludes the walk which Thirdrock and I did the other day. Good fun :thumbsup:
