While Mac steers the narrowboat (disappearing under the bridge in the distance) I like the walk along the tow path with the dogs. The boys hop on and off, walk a while, then back on the boat for a while, then off again to open the locks. The speed limit on the canal is 4mph so it's a very leisurely pace. And there is so much to look at. Along this stretch, the beautiful red brick chimneys of old factories tell their stories about Nottingham's industrial history.
