I took some video from my cycle camera this morning.
I start at the end of Beresford Avenue. You can see the car gates are locked, but there is easy pedestrian access. I did a couple of circuits of the pond area.
There is an attached map of the route also.
Excuse the Palm D'Or camera work, the bike camera gets knocked sometimes!
1) - 0:36 The alternative entrance to the park, closer to the skate park. The car gates are locked, the pedestrian gate is open.
2) - 2:00 Arrive at the pond. Does a circuit of the pond.
3) - 3:02 The opposite side of the pond from the buildings. On the left is a strip about 5 metres wide, then the trees/scrub continues on the other side of the Croda fence.
4) - 4:18 Up the ramp to the river bank, to turn back left towards the abandoned buildings, from the river side.
5) - 5:20 Turn left way from the river after passing all the abandoned buildings to our left,
6) - 5:39 turn left again, off the path into the undergrowth towards the ruined buildings
7) - 6:20 Inside the compound
8) - 7:30 Back towards the pond.
9) - 8:30 Back up the ramp to the river bank; at the top of the boat steps going down into the river, about to double back the other way along the river.
10) - 8:56 Past the top of the ramp again (on the right), following the river path, on the other side of the trees from the pond.
11) - 10:00 Turn right off the river path, back down the embankment to rejoin the path around the pond.
12) - 10:55 Turn left, leave the pond path, heading back to Beresford park.
