Course of the River Og, Ogbourne St Andrew, near Marlborough
At this time of year the course of the river should be full of water. Plainly it isn't. The winter of 2011/12 has seen low rainfall and minimal snow in these parts and the water table has fallen.

An upstream view of the course of the River Og, Ogbourne St Andrew, near Marlborough
The river has dried up completely and has been in this condition for months. At this time of year it should be running freely from its source in the downs south of Swindon. A mild and relatively dry winter has reduced it to this lifeless state.

A346 enters Ogbourne St Andrew
The tiny River Og lends its name to a group of villages hereabouts 'The Ogbournes' and has carved its way through the chalk downs, creating a gap for this 'A' road to follow. Ogbourne means Occa's stream.
