On Saturday I mentioned I'd try a walk on the flat and one on the hills this week!
Well today's walk was on the flat. Macclesfield to home in Congleton via the canal. Managed to find a book G was after in the library, which he had in virtual reality for ages!
Distance was 11.5 miles in just over 3 hours. Only stopped to take the odd photo and put on/off! my waterproof jacket. It was off more times than a certain sportsman who kicks a round object underpants!!

Need to start taking out one of my other cameras on future walks/runs as zoom on camera on phone ain't that good! Spotted a heron by the side of the canal. Tried to get closer to get a good pic but had to let a runner past! So heron flew over the canal to a field and the moment had gone!

Talking of pics/photos reminds me of the new Countryfile Photographic Competition 2011:
Plenty of categories to enter. So when you're out and about remember to take a pic! and you could have a winner!
One thing I noticed a lot of today was men with wide brimmed hats on their canal barges! One old bloke even had a Captain's hat!
Maybe I can be Captain Beaky when I'm older and drive a canal barge! Or is it steer/guide?
Whose old enough to remember the link?!
