Shropshire Union Canal approaching Chester city wall on Spirit recumbent from the East.

It gets a bit narrow as you near Northgate Locks. If you're going to wobble, make it to the left! Most canals are saucer shaped, so if you fall in, it's shallower at the edges. The canal is cut into the rock here, following an old moat, so the sides are apparently more vertical.

It's an archaic comic turn of phrase indicating agreement with an identification or statement, etc

A few pictures of the Stockingfield junction bridge in Maryhill.

It is a bit OTT for a canal bridge . Two small bridges would have worked and cost a lot less but it's here now and is quite spectacular

From yesterday's or the day before's ride.
A tranquil L&L

L&L, Nelson, yesterday - been a while since I rode this stretch. I call the bridge the Basil bridge. There's a former (I think) infants school hiding behind the trees

L&L near Burnley

Bridge over the L&L - more solid than the Kwai one

L&L - maintenance depot me thinks
