My definition of valley,incorporates the full catchment area of the River Roding.It's not the longest river system in the world,not even that in England,but it is much travelled by people passing through, going to and returning from,London.As such,it is much travelled,but I strongly suspect,little viewed,which is a great shame,as it is to me,the most beautiful,largely unspoilt valley.I hope that in some small way I can help to show this beauty,to all who will see.
April 2009:Having ruptured two tendons in my left knee,my walks along the Roding Valley,are being curtailed for the time being.
