Thorney Island

We went for a walk round Thorney Island, Sadie, my friend and I. We were very lucky with the weather again. The walk started from Emsworth and we headed east first through Brook Meadow.


Next was Slipper Mill Pond


Then east to Prinsted to join the path onto Thorney Island


Many more pictures, many many more! Click Read more below. Click on a picture for slideshow. The 16:9 format pictures are in the highest resolution available on this blog. They were selected to be used as wallpapers. I tend to like my wallpapers fairly uncluttered, I can't find my icons otherwise!

Billy Trail

The Billy Trail is a public path for walkers, cyclists and horse riders that runs down the western edge of Hayling Island in Hampshire. It follows the track of an old railway line closed by Beeching in the early 1960s. The path actually runs almost all the way to Havant station where the old Billy line joined the main railway network. I walked the trail with my faithful companion Sadie and a friend.
 

This is the view back towards the mainland from the start of the Billy trail. The Langstone bridge can be seen from here. The old railway line had its own bridge, now dismantled.
