Cycling into Bloggers

«

»

I'm out for two or three days a week, weather permitting, cycling along the canal towpaths checking the data for our Cruising Maps.

It keeps me fit and I can usually manage 25-30km (15-20 miles) or so each day - a little less if the are lots of locks which take time to measure the depth.

Sometimes I have the pleasure of meeting other bloggers.

Wandring Bark

Last month, and I've been rather slow blogging about it, I met Wand’ring Bark in the cutting on the Staffs and Worcester Canal just north of Autherley Junction. It's hard to get away from me in that narrow cutting and I had a short breather while we stopped to chat. Then it was onwards to Penkridge to complete that day's research.

On Friday I cycled from Long Buckby to Rugby and passed Adam on Briar Rose.

Briar Rose

I almost didn't recognise him as I think it's the first time I've seen him on his new boat rather than Debdale.

Yesterday I cycled from Rugby to Nuneaton to complete the Northern Oxford Canal, and a little more - although cycling was probably the wrong word as I had to push the bike through the mud as much as I could ride it.

A welcome break and a short chat ensued when I met Hadar, moored quietly for the weekend.

I wonder who I'll meet next week.
