Beyond Zone 6

            Getting myself lost. Having watched a Geoff Marshall Youtube video on walking disused London Railways before I left I thought I'd return from Harefield via the disused branchline to Uxbridge High Street. It branched off at Harefield and Denham from the Chiltern Mainline. It's over there far right in the trees. Back when he filmed it most of, but not all of it, was walkable. So looking for the part that was detoured I got lost. Stuck in muddy waterlogged fields with few if any exits and fewer if any signposts. This is the River Frey, overflowing in the fields. The A40 and Uxbridge are in the distance getting rained on. I am somewhere beyond Zone 6 on the 'London Travelcard Map'. Though technically the map and Zone 6 end at Uxbridge in West London, Zones 6 to 9 only encompass the Met Line to Amersham and Chesham, like an afterthought for London Commuters on the Met. 

I eventually found my way back to the A40 and Uxbridge. But determined to find where I'd gone wrong I began to trace the line from Uxbridge back to where I'd taken the wrong turning not far from this photo. It turns out, almost the whole route is now walkable, including the old railway bridge across the Frey, if somewhat overgrown. But by now the rain clouds had arrived and I cycled home from Uxbridge getting soaked to the skin. But at least I had some good photos in my camera. This one being one of the best.
