Favourite path in #StHelens Borough, episode 46: #Rainford Linear Park, along the former railway line. Well into a 20 miler in preparation for #BeatingtheBounds next Sunday.

The trend during the current isolation period is for rainbows, we are also staying at home to flatten the curve of new cases. Here is a photo of a natural flattish rainbow.

No rainbows where harmed in this.

Not common locally but be careful around this if you see any.
Let your local council know where it is.

I’m sure I don’t need to say this but just in case, all Sankey Canal Restoration Societies work parties are cancelled until the crisis has passed
For now remember to get some sunshine whenever you can, sunshine boosts your vitamin D levels which in turn boosts your immune system

Unfortunately due to the current situation this months AGM has been delayed until a more suitable time, we will announce a new date once confirmed.

Having spoken to a number of different local #StHelens businesses regarding how their businesses are going during these tough times this message becomes all more important! #ShopLocal #StHelens #Newton #Rainhill #Rainford #Earlestown

Over the last two weekends SCARs members have been working with StHelens Angling Association in StHelens to clear rubbish from the lenons stretch of the canal. Around 40 bags have been taken out.

Thanks to everyone for their time.

It’s all good now.

Here’s before and after.

@SankeyCanal So true it warms the heart so very very pleased 😁
