![]() The Oast House, now firmly sealed by Surrey County Council to prevent it becoming a community resource ![]() Staines Aqueduct brings water from the Thames to the reservoirs. But it flooded disastrously into the River Ash in 2014 ![]() River Colne ![]() The start of the River Ash, a distributary of the Colne which flows into the River Thames in Sunbury ![]() ![]() The intake which controls the flow of the River Ash from the River Colne ![]() Staines Bypass ![]() The 'Big Pipe' (now there are two of them) which takes gas across the Colne ![]() and sometimes foolhardy youths across the river ![]() Bonehead Ditch, a stream of the Colne, rejoins it at the base of the tree line. Several trees have fallen across Bonehead Ditch providing a useful short cut to the Moor, though not one I felt up to using today |

![]() River Colne and behind the trees the King George VI reservoir ![]() The distant low hill in the centre of the image is landfill after gravel extraction. ![]() Across the Moor is the M25 - with some road signs visible - and the bank of the Wraysbury Reservoir ![]() A row of pylons crosses the Colne on Staines Moor ![]() ![]() ![]() I tried the panorama mode on the Fuji X-T1 but could not really get it to work well - this was my best result, and none of them are sharp when enlarged. ![]() The Wraysbury River is another stream of the Colne and rejoins it in the centre of Staines ![]() |
