@louannwarren Thank you Lou Ann it was my intention to walk to a nature reserve just around that bend, as it had started to rain I turned on my heels and walked back home:)
@stray_shooter Thank you Ron for your comment, you can walk all the way to Manchester along the canal pathways its many miles as it winds itself through the English countryside:)
@onewing Thank you Babs, no umbrella just a hood on my Gortex trekking coat, I'm increasing my walking distance, this was a 10k round trip taking photographs on the way, getting ready for the Lincoln 10K run in April if the Surgeons gives me the all clear to start running again next month:)
