Trainee soldiers and, cadets often use sawdust piles out on the training areas of Aldershot.
As I trekked upstream in search of this location I noticed my route marked with intermittent handfuls of sawdust, placed in purposeful mounds. As I reached what I thought was Cullever Steps my belief was affirmed by two piles of sawdust right next to the water. So I swam, took this photo and headed back. However well meant their intention was, I’m afraid this persons trail of sawdust led me to terminate my journey prematurely as with hindsight I see that I never actually reached Cullever Steps. The location I swam is smaller and a different shape to the photograph above. I can’t help but think if they had not marked so confidently the location I settled at, I might have continued further upstream and reached my intended destination. In future I will always carry a printed photograph of my destination and not be so trusting of unfamiliar trails, the function of which I cannot decode.
Good for a paddle and surprisingly remote but I personally would not recommend diving in.
