The BBW Club - Third outing



This time, having found ourselves in Notton more than once in the last few weeks, we decided to circumvent that problem by heading the opposite way to the village and heading the other way down the canal.

An excellent plan, somewhat circumvented by encountering a large gate where there should have been a thoroughfare and a large set of dogs where there should have been grass...



Plan B, go back up the way and go along the canal proper to get to the other path, and we know that the we’re on the path because it actually looks like a railway...



With a half dismantled bridge halfway along it...



And what looks to be the storm drain outlet into a larger tunnel that we know is the remains of the canal...



Which begs the question of why is the drain opening out into the canal...



But this is way behind where people will ever see (unless they’re us)...



So why not...




We learned that sometimes sleeping horses do indeed lie...



You need a bridge to go over a five inch wide stream...



But seriously bridges are awesome...



And we’re going to be going further afield from this point onwards, the actual walking is excellent, because we chat s*** about everything from Game of Thrones to the nature of the games industry, to writing and all things that matter to us, and somehow between those conversations, another seven miles are gone...

We were considering starting up a full time walking group for those built like us, with the caveat that if you can’t walk half a mile without falling over, we’re not the starting point, the question would be how many people built like us want to take up on walking...


Question posed...
