Regent’s Canal, Tick ✅

I can now say, that along with Cooper. I’ve now walked the whole of the Regent’s Canal in London from Limehouse Basin to Paddington Basin.

The first part of the walk took us from Limehouse Basin to London Canal Museum a distance of 7.3 miles!

Then we took a boat trip from the London Canal Museum through the Islington Tunnel, which is the longest canal tunnel in the south of England!  If ever in the London area, I would really recommend you do! More info can be found out at canalmuseum.gttix.com/productdetails.aspx?productid=4720.

Then the second part of the walk took us from the London Canal Museum to Paddington Basin a distance of 5.2 miles!

Here are some photos from the walk!

That was a great 42 mile cycle

That sure was a great 42.46 mile cycle! So in other words, one of the longest ones I’ve done in wee while! Really do need to try to get at least one 60+ mile cycle in before the year is out!

You can check out the route, I took over at www.strava.com/activities/1146652992.

I will leave you with some photos from the cycle…

Red telephone boxes

I know this is a bit sad! But I’ve just come up with a new idea… and that’s taken photos of every red telephone box, I cycle or walk past…

Here is a very small collection of the photos, I’ve taken so far… More can be found at www.gordon-valentine.com/zenphoto/red-telephone-boxes/

Sort of wish, I wore a wetsuit!

That turned out being a very, very wet cycle! It was dry when I set off, then it starting to piss it down! So sort of wish, I wore a wetsuit! But then wet Lycra, looks EXTRA HOT!
