Canals: Waterway to have a good time!

[Canal Life @LifeOnTheCanal]

Worn out but happy I didn't cheat the last couple of miles by by bus. Well earned pint and now legitimately on the bus back to Chester. @CanalRiverTrust #lifesbetterbywater #Chester #Nantwich #TheShroppie #ShropshireUnionCanal

WETLANDS AREN'T JUST GLORIFIED PUDDLES, THEY'RE ACTUALLY THE MOST EFFECTIVE CARBON SINKS ON THE PLANET AND SUPPORT 40% OF PLANTS AND ANIMALS ON EARTH-

Forgot to post my previous jaunt from Barbridge along the Middlewich branch of The #ShropshireUnionCanal so today resumes from @AqueductMarina toward Middlewich with views looking back, forwards & the marina itself (good grub) #lifesbetterbywater @CanalRiverTrust #TheShroppie

@CanalRiverTrust more of these bins please! Great to lighten the load for the rest of the walk!

Day 3 on The Grand Union Canal. Last two days in Leicestershire now on to Warwick, East through Leamington and beyond.

[Canal Life @LifeOnTheCanal]

Out and about on the Grand Union in #Leicester today. Lovely to see some volunteers from @CanalRiverTrust giving the towpath a good clean to get rid of some slippy looking mud.
Also, photo of the canal sans workers #lifesbetterbywater #grandunion #grandunioncanal #Leiceatershire

@Canal_Network How can the police refuse to act? What if it were a motorhome?

Whilst out walking today we came across a family of Stoats. Two siblings were honing their hunting skills on each other.

Too long since my last walk but a day off today so here it is. Looking back to The Barbridge Inn where the last walk ended & along the canal to Nantwich & Beyond. The Middlewich arm from Barbridge Junction saved for another day #lifesbetterbywater #canallife #shropshireunioncanal

Saturday Walk (19th March) Resuming at Crows Nest Bridge (no. 113) through to Barbridge. 9+ miles and well over 20,000 steps. Lovely stop at the @LockgateCoffee near Beeston before a well earned pint at Barbridge Inn #Cheshire #ShropshireUnionCanal #Lifesbetterbywater

Saturday Walk (5th March). Harkers Arms, Chester to Crows Nest Bridge (No. 113) near Tattenhall with refreshment stop at The Cheshire Cat #ShropshireUnionCanal #Lifesbetterbtwater #Chester #Cheshire #Tattenhall

Saturday's walk: Shropshire Union Canal from National Waterways Museum/Lock 1 (with Manchester Ship) to Chester. Just shy of 9.5 miles. Decent haul of litter but sadly could have been 10x as much #PlasticsChallenge

When my day changed I thought it was going to end up being very unproductive but luckily it was the opposite.
A copse next to the chalk stream cleared, a litter pick of the pond with tyres and trolleys removed, and two reed beds sorted.

A busy Jan delayed canal based activity plans but an excellent start to Feb with a 9.5 mile walk from the junction of Manchester Ship & Shropshire Union to Chester. Decent haul of litter but depressing it could have been much more. Pics to follow in a few days #PlasticsChallenge

First canal walk of the year today. Standard Chester to Cheshire Cat for liquid refreshment before making the return journey. About 3 dozen moorhens, 4 pieces for the #plasticschallenge and a bonus aluminum can
