Wellingtonia 32

Scored on the way back from the visit noticed at reference 1. I failed to make a note at the time, but it seems likely that it was on the roundabout at the junction of the A246 and the B2122, that is to say between Bockett's Farm and Great Bookham. With the road just visible bottom left in the snap above.

Confirming detail. Pretty confident about the identification.

With a tall tree being visible in the middle of the roundabout in this aerial shot taken from Ordnance Survey. 

Gmaps offers a lot more zoom, but no more resolution.

And I have been reminded that getting on and off roundabouts on busy roads can be a tricky - not to say dangerous - business. Not to say feet wetting on this occasion, given the long wet grass.

PS: checking, I now find that there is not a separate roundabout right outside Bockett's Farm, as I had thought first thing this morning. So the foregoing is almost certainly wrong, and the roundabout in question is now almost certainly the Givons Grove roundabout at the junction of the A24 and the A246, a little to the east of the other one. Particularly since I now remember leaving the car in the Esso petrol station there while I took the snaps above. Complete with tall tree in the middle. So error, but at least I had not attempted to score the tree at reference 3 twice. Moral: make a proper note at the time, like a policeman with his notebook.
