Lefty tighty. Get it righty.
I've just found that my image of the Everdon Stubbs tower above is the third of this water tower on the thread, and all images are very similar. Even the bikes all point the same way. Mine has the most vegetation though!

It's on one of my regular routes, in fact went past it on Sunday.

I often ride from Hemel Hempstead (where my wife drops me off) to near Coventry (where friends live), and I'm trying to get my heatmap to cover as many roads in between as I can (excluding A roads and urban centres). So I'll probably be back.

The climbs approaching the water tower are a couple of my favourites, up from the village of Everdon through the Stubbs and left to the water tower or coming from just before Preston Capes and up the climb called Hen Wood which is a bit of a test and through Mantles Heath, the road is a bit of a bomb site but the views over the valley looking north are great.

Not sure if it's worth dragging this one back up for a bit of an ugly one, but what the hell. From the at long last bypassed Long Stratton in Norfolk

Earlier this year I was planning a ride along the Basingstoke canal, Wey Navigation then down to the New Forest, I phoned a friend who lives in a water tower near to Godalming hoping to stay there but they were on holiday and said I would have to make do with camping in the garden which was fine as it is a nice quiet location.
