Notes

Some sediment/sand. From this test point the water flows under a tree into a ditch into a nearby field. A local person walking by said that ideally the water should flow along a pipe to the pond near The Withies Pub but the pipe has become blocked and the pond is now dry. Water should flow out of The Withies Pond into a brook. Apparently Surrey County Council (SCC) are going to try and unblock the pipe in the autumn (November?). The pipe is under common land i.e. not owned by anybody hence the reason why SCC will be doing the work.
