Wire Mill Lake, Tandridge (By grandad1950)

I found this place by accident when I was looking for somewhere fun to take my eldest grandson for his 18th birthday in June.

It is a water ski centre that gives lessons so could make a fun day out flying and skiing.

Admiral Hood Monument, South Somerset (By gasbag43)

The Admiral Hood Monument is a memorial column to Vice Admiral Sir Samuel Hood on a hill in the parish of Compton Dundon, Somerset, England. It was completed in 1831.
He entered the Royal Navy in 1776 and rose through a very distinguished career to become the Vice Admiral at the Battle of the Nile.
The monument is a 110 feet (33.5 m) Tuscan column on a cuboid base set on two tall steps, the lower supporting a wrought iron railing enclosure. There was originally a doorway in the base, but this was sealed in 1990.

The monument culminates in a band of laurel wreaths beneath a naval crown, composed of the sculpted sterns of four galleons interspersed with four mainsails.

The monument was paid for by public subscription and was originally linked to the Hood family home at Butleigh by a mile long avenue of cedar trees.

From the monument is a lovely view of the valley below. Parking is in a small layby 5 minutes walk from the monument
