Dapdune door

The good thing about having the boys here is that we get out and about and busy. This morning I took them back to Denbies where I had been earlier in the week. The grapes that I blipped that day are now being harvested. We were at Denbies for a Lego exhibition, but it was very disappointing, not a patch on when James May was there, building a two storey Lego house large enough for him to get inside.
On the way to Denbies we stopped at the Stepping Stones over the River Mole and, as we had suspected, they were completely submerged by flood water.
Our afternoon excursion took us to Dapdune Wharf on the River Wey at Guildford. This is the site of a former barge building and repair yard and a wharf were local produce including gunpowder manufactured in nearby Chilworth was loaded for transport down the Wey Navigation towards London. Former workshops and sheds housed interesting exhibitions, all alongside the now tranquil Wey Navigation. This door was the entrance to the Carbide Shed where the boys tried their hand at tying different knots and learnt how pulleys worked. Jake's blip has a wider view.
