The Upper Reaches
Thanks to John for the pictures. On discovering a video game called the Upper Reaches my imagination got carried away. The Upper Reaches has been boarded up now for well over two years now …
The Upper Reaches has three levels to explore with around 50 boarded up rooms,
There are many high fences to keep you out, overgrown gardens, and a water mill entered through a watery cavern.
Horrible monsters, from giant weeds to killer rats, lurk in the overgrown carpark.
Discover the secrets of the nearby monastery, and the Old Gaol where Broad Face glowers menacingly where he was hung.
What of all those donations that pilgrims made to the Abbot over the years? Are they still buried beneath the Abbey Gardens? There could be a sizable horde. Discover the healing potion unknown to modern science made by the last apothecary – or something even more intriguing in the boarded up rooms of The Upper Reaches.
The Cricket and Caravan seasons are Over. Croquet Continues …
Premature leaf fall caused by the Horse-chestnut Leaf Miner has given an early autumn look in some places like these trees overlooking the Abingdon Vale Cricket Club.
The cricket season is over. Abingdon Vale beat Tiddington by 7 Wickets in their last match.
The Caravan Club season must also be drawing to a seasonal close.
Members of Thames Valley Croquet Club lined up for lunch at their Annual Barbecue on Friday 15th September at the Abingdon Vale Cricket Club, and after a lunch had a few games of golf croquet. But they are not stopping there …
The Croquet Club play throughout the year, on Mondays and Fridays 1.30pm – 4.30pm in the Summer and 11am – 2.30pm in Winter. For more details, please give Mike a ring on 01235203082 or drop in to the Club and make yourself known. Membership fees are modest.
Abingdon Camera Club – two exhibitions
The Abingdon Camera Club under 16s, and adult, open competition winners have been on display for the last week in the Abingdon Free Space window. Apology for the reflections.
There is also an exhibition by members of the club at 35 Ock Street for the next few weeks.
At meeting of the club members each show a couple of pictures and get feedback.
Members range from expert photographers to beginners, and they hope at their meetings, with friendly feedback, that all will find ways to improve how they take and edit pictures. You can find out more at abingdoncameraclub.org.uk.
