A Monday morning bike ride with Paul and Jeanette. This was a repeat of the 70km route I cycled with Cary on 19 July this year. Other visits are described thus (click on the text):
Just a few photos today - Paul is pictured above at Water's Meet, after only about half an hour.
The sun arrived for the next two pictures, taken from the same spot, on the Bridgewater Canal towpath between Worsley and Leigh.
Coffee breaks at Pennington Flash and in a cafe in Stockton Heath broke the journey. The 70km ride took us a shade over 5 hours, including an hour's worth of breaks.
There were a few minor diversions due to path widening and maintenance, and we noted lots of earth piled up by way of new landscaping near the site of a new fishing lake in the Sankey valley - the earth excavated to create the lake hasn't been taken away, it has just been plonked nearby and shouldn't look too bad once it's grassed over.
Thanks for your company, P&J, I enjoyed that ride.
PS Moorhens seem to have had a good year in the Sankey valley, the place seemed almost overrun with them!
