Brick Home.


Day 11.



I thought I would list the canals we have been on over the last year and wonder just how we managed that.

Starting from Whilton Marina on the Grand Union, and not doubling up we have been on:

The Grand Union (Obviously).
The Northhampton arm.
The Stratford Upon Avon Canal.
The Worcester And Birmingham Canal.
The River Severn.
The Staffordshire And Worcester Canal.
The Shropshire Union Canal.
The Llanggollen Canal.
The Trent And Mersey Canal.
The Weaver Navigations.
The Bridgewater Canal.
The Leeds And Liverpool Canal.
The Aire and Calder Navigations.
The Selby Canal.
The Calder And Hebble Navigation.
The Huddersfield Wide Canal.
The Huddersfield Narrow Canal. (Our favourite)
The Ashton Canal.
The Peak Forest Canal.
The Macclesfield Canal.
The Birmingham And Fazeley Canal.
The Birmingham Canal Navigations. (Some of)
The South Oxford Canal.
The Oxford canal.
The Coventry Canal.
The Ashby Canal.
And lastly the Leicester Arm Of The Grand Union.

Wow, when you see it put down like that it does make you think!
All of that at three miles an hour!!!

Whilst It is all reflections at the moment, these two comments top our list.
