Geo-Trips :: London to Hampshire
Twyford
A drive from Brentford, Sun, 25 Apr 2021 by David Howard
This was a collection visit to get one of the most prized pre-Worboys signs in the set, as it may be the only one left in England.As expected it was slow progress, crawling around the fringe of London before hitting the more open road in Surrey. But all went well and eventually found the sign deep in a hedge which had grown over it. I then covered the area south of Winchester I hadn't been to, before returning on the A31. It was sunny the whole time so very good light conditions.
