THE River Wey Trust held its 20th annual picnic on the headwater at Foley Manor Estate, owned by Liphook landowner Richard Northcott.

Organised by the trust’s president, Adrian Bird, the event featured a guided walk in Reedywood, a grand raffle with prizes from The Deer’s Hut, Luffs Garden Centre in Headley, as well as music by Grandpa’s Spells Jazz Band.

Instead of the ususal duck race, guests had to crack the ‘Quack the Code’ before winning a prize.

Adrian told The Herald: “As always, the event is a fundraiser for the trust. Foley is part of the Holly Water headwaters within the River Wey Trust region.

“The southern branch of the River Wey rises in the hills that surround Haslemere.

“For 15 miles it flows first westwards then north in an arc through Hampshire to re-enter Surrey near Frensham.

“It is joined by the Alton branch of the Wey at Tilford — the downstream limit of the River Wey Trust’s area of interest. From Tilford the Wey goes on via Godalming and Guildford to join the Thames at Weybridge and then on to the sea.”
