Catching up from Monday




We left Spencer's Bridge on Monday, heading for Gathurst. In all that time our router has had no signal and I tried to add an update via iPhone since my iPad is sans SIM. The fact that I am catching up today is ample demonstration of that particular failure! Here is a pictorial of the trip:-


Leaving Spencer's Bridge
This is a great spot to spend a few days, though the bridge is surprisingly busy for a country back lane. The view over the fields during the day is good for the soul, whilst at night it is all swooping bats and hooting owls - perfect!
Don't mention the war!
One of the many machine gun posts along this stretch. A sobering reminder of the perceived strategic 
importance of the canal during WW2.

For some reason I'm having difficulty when the post gets beyond a certain size. Perhaps it's an iPad thing. I'll continue with a separate entry.
