My mate is getting married on the 5th, I thought I'd google the walking directions...
EPIC FAIL!  ;D

I think that might be what's referred to as "the scenic route". Hope you've got good waders mate  :D

My brother was giving me directions to his new house by using filling stations and schools.  I asked what land marks there were that I could head towards if I got lost - he insisted look for the petrol station...

...completely missing the fact the Queen Mary reserviour is less than 500 meters south of his road.

I have no problem with this, it is obviously the shortest walk albeit not the most direct!  I'm suprised it didn't say walk to Heathrow or Gatwick then fly  :D

That reservoir is just next to the best Triumph dealer in London as well

Maybe I should walk, it's only three days by these instructions, whereas last time we drove there it took 7 and a 1/2 hours!
