When your path is in the river. At one point I had fish swimming around my feet 😅 #running #RiverItchen #longrun
We also encountered the railway line and had a view towards St. Catherine's Hill at one point.

Afterwards, we took a longer way back, which allowed me to get these nighttime shots.

Sunday run along the River Itchen actually ended up being in the Itchen quite a bit (up to our knees at points), due to flooded paths, but all good fun. #trailrun #RiverItchen #running
We even had a surprise encounter with some deer at the very end.

We would carry on for a little bit more before stopping for lunch with a view of the nearby River Itchen.

Our lovely River Itchen from Northam Bridge at 5am this morning while the tide was out. The River Itchen is a beautiful chalk stream which flows for 28 miles from mid-Hampshire to Southampton. We feel very lucky to be located right next to it! #bitternepark #riveritchen #southampton
Freddie Sampson, one of the students, described the chaos as the bus suddenly swerved off the road.
A normal morning turned into an absolute nightmare. 😱💔

Our local park looking glorious in the sunshine this morning. Very cheering for a Monday morning walk into work. We're so lucky to be located right next to the River Itchen and Riverside Park. #bitternepark #riversidepark #riveritchen #southampton
We even wandered through the Winnall Moors Nature Reserve, before eventually making it back to where we started this walk.

Unlike most East Anglian #chalkstreams, despite heavy rain & dark of a halloween afternoon, visibility in the #RiverItchen still sufficient to see (if not photograph well) the Brown Trout (many clearly stocked) & Grayling, hanging out in the deep pools. #Winchester #Itchen 4/11
Stands of Branched Bur-reed fringe River Itchen, softened by the late summer candy floss hues of Meadowsweet, Common Valerian & Hemp Agrimony. Lime loving Perforate St John's Wort along the banks & Wild Privet in the scrub.
