Sunday morning dawned bright and sunny. Chris donned his shorts saying that as his car computer said it was 10 degrees C, it was officially shorts weather. We arranged oor walk so that Shannon was back from her friends birthday sleepover meaning that we didn't have to drag a protesting Alex with us.
We started at the Galleon Pub in Old Wolverton and headed out in Cosgrove direction. The fields are really flooded from all the snow melt and at Cosgrove caravan park, lots of the vans are sitting in water. I couldn't get any pictures of them because the trees are in the way.
It's a nice stretch of canal to walk as once you get past the Cosgrove it is pretty rural and quiet. In many places there is no actual path along the towpath, just a grass and mud verge. There were not many people about either so it was lovely and peaceful.
We walked to a bridge between Yardley Gobion and Grafton Regis which will be our starting point next time.
My legs and back were aching nearing the end on the return journey - I think I just need to build up my muscles expectation for extended walking. More trips to the gym are most definitely required this week as I have been very slack for the last month.
