Last Wednesday I wrote here about Witham Rivewalk in the Frost. Today I headed along a different part of the ‘Witham Riverwalk’, this time I headed towards Witham Railway Station, leaving the walk at the junction with Armond Road. Today the river level was high and some parts ot the walk were flooded, with patches of ice.

Yesterday I wrote about the thick frost in Witham…and today? Snow!

Very rarely do we get snow in Witham, and today a thick blanket of the stuff had fallen overnight.

The road journey to the office in Ongar was a bit slippy this morning, I wish the council had gritted the main roads out of Witham, I lost control of the car a couple of times. Braintree District Council, get a grit.

Click this link to look at my snow pictures taken on the phone camera this morning.

Below are some movies to watch too…

Witham in Essex has an area well known as ‘the Riverwalk’.

The Riverwalk is a bit of countryside that stretches right through the town, it will never be developed on with new buildings.

Bridges cross over the river at various points, linking off to various parts of the town.

In 1995 the cracking old path was replaced with a foot and cycle path. Red for bikes, grey for walkers.

When I was younger I would walk along it on the way to school.

People use the route to walk dogs, cycle, jog and chat as they pass down this traffic free route each day.

These days I walk along it in the other direction from my school days from the flat to pick up my car from the parents house before driving to work, this gives me some exercise.
