Nice pic but am appalled to see that you appear to have poached a swan from the water, resined it, fired a paintgun at it, then bolted on bits from your spares bin.

Storm Clouds Gather

'Stanley Ferry'
The Grade 1 cast-iron aquaduct can be seen, with its early 80's sucessor, slightly hidden to its left
Aire & Calder Navigation Canal, crossing the River Calder

I was heading home from work yesterday (circa 14:30), & was going to ride upstream, along the 'R C', & pass through NewLands Woods

From slightly closer
I went along the 'dismantled railway' as the Calder banking was

If you scroll down, to the B&W picture of a steam-locomotive reversed to the water, with a large 'metal box', that's what ran on the line

Haversham Arches, I have a long relationship with this particular space, from swimming and fishing in and on the river when I was a kid to really appreciating it as part of my regular dog walking route now, just wish the lockdown walkers would treat it with a little more respect

Essex's very own tropical island - Osea Island.
I understand that there's a four hour window to get across the causeway and that you are actually allowed onto the foreshore.
Next time I go I'll research the tides in advance.
Interesting place - you can stay there for grades of megabucks.
Would be interested to hear from any of you folks who have ventured over the causeway.

The wreck in the middle of this picture is apparently called Alpha and turns out not only to have been a fishing boat, but was also used as a minesweeper in the second world war according to a piece in the local paper (warning, if you click the link make sure you have ad blockers turned on as it's one of the Archant titles)

This is a great example of why I love this forum - I didn't know about Osea Island, now I do! looks like a lovely, if somewhat expensive, place to stay.

Heathcote Mere (tbh, it's more like a pond)

Thanks. You can't actually get to that point with a car unless you have a very good reason. The unsigned road has a barrier on it some time before the island and the only other way is the long path round the estuary.
