Turn around, every now an then......you have little choice but to rethink your route. An engorged Avon Water flowed well beyond it's banks today, I rarely saw it flowing like this in the past. Avon Water was another of the forest's streams straightened and re-cut by the Victorians, once it's course ran parallel with Brockenhurst to Ringwood line, now long gone too under Beeching's axe. It's meanders and shallows were restored in 2017, and it now runs in it's original channel, another landscape enriched and transformed. Although we weren't going to see that landscape this morning, no way I'm getting through that.
