Hello and welcome back to my blog 😊.

Todays walk was a 10 mile walk along the Bridgewater canal from the Cheshire town of Lymm to Stockton Heath, near Warrington and back again.

Although the morning started with freezing mist the sun soon burnt the mist off and it turned into a blue- sky day.

Myself and Angela set off along the towpath taking in the views and watching the wildlife along the way. We passed a few Anglers and quite a few dogs walking their humans. Everyone was enjoying the sunny day!

The path close to Lymm was good but as we progressed the path became very muddy which was not what we had hoped for.

We passed under the M6 motorway.

There were some lovely houses adjacent to the canal along the way – quite a few had balconies so that their owners could sit outside sipping a chilled white wine watching the canal world pass by – although that is in the summer when the weather is warmer!

Passing under one bridge I noticed a really cool piece of graffiti – possibly not to everyone’s taste?

We passed a weird looking boat – not a type I had seen before.

There were plenty of pleasure cruising boats moored up along the walk.

We stopped at a handy bench for a butty and cuppa and so, feeling refreshed ,resumed our walk.

Getting back into Lymm the weather was still holding.

Lymm has a very old monument which was restored in 1897 by public donations in commemoration of the Diamond Jubilee of Queen Victoria – the stone is gradually washing away.

It was a delight to do this walk today – the sunshine certainly lifts your spirit – and we look forward to the next one.

Happy Walking!
