Come rain or shine our volunteer skipper & crew make sure you have the most enjoyable day on the water. You can sit back & enjoy the company of the rest of your group, absorbing the peace and calm of the boat gliding along in leisurely fashion #Charity #BoatHire #Volunteer #GrandUnionCanal #UKCanals

Mallards are such exquisitely beautiful birds (especially the males, although the females are also lovely, if a little less colourful).

There are always grey herons along the canal. They are strange birds, not known for being very nice... but I like to see and photograph them.

Abstract ice heaven back down at the canal this morning (flat tyre this time, so didn't go back to the common - well, I did, but then noticed the deflated tyre so drove home!).
