Somewhere to wet a line near welwyn garden city..

[Andy Shaw]

Hi all, im after a bit of advice on areas free preferably and day tickets around the welwyn garden city area. Im working all around this area and thinking of staying up this way and doing a few overnighters instead of heading back home and back again....
Would rather rivers than lakes but would be interested to hear about any thing really.
I have looked at a few spots of the lea that i cross but you could walk across without getting your socks wet and not sure if owned by any clubs etc....

Please PM if prefered, im not in any way after any swims or great spots just somewhere to spend an evening or night to save a double journey.

Many thanks.

Andy.
