16 Mar 2024Farnborough to Brookwood:
This is one of the most enjoyable routes in that area. Exit from Farnborough is along quiet streets. The only tricky spots are when railway lines need crossing esp. if visibility is poor. Once the route passes Frimley Green it joins Basingstoke canal towpath. There are high slopes on one or both sides most of the way which dampens noise from the surrounding area. Even though I walked along this canal after a spell of rainy days there was always a way round puddles. The gradient is also fairly small as you would expect from a towpath. I attach a photo warning about a potential closure of the route and a another one showing a quiet stretch of the route.

12 Dec 2021Nice easy route. After walking along the footpath alongside the roads from Farnborough, the route crosses the A331 and passes the fishing lakes and through a quiet residential area to Frimley Green. From here the route was straight down the canal to Brookwood. Unfortunately after wet weather the canal towpath can bet quite muddy so take some waterproof footwear.
