went for a walk, got a job

Sounds like a wonderful day & a great reward cigar at the end. I have never gone from one end to the other but the bridge with the pill box looks like Blacksmith's Bridge, near Church Crookham?

honestly, i don't recall! That particular bridge didn't have a pill box but a couple did. I will need to travel the path a few times before i remember loation names and places properly without a map. The strange thing is when you're at a bridge & step off the road on to the towpath time seems slows down...

I've used the Mytchett BCA Centre as my base on 2 trips so i've not done the whole thing in 1 go either... you've just given me my next mission

Giant crayfish at the bottom of the lock!

I hooked it out and relocated it to the pound

That's a white signal crayfish which is invasive and killing off our smaller native crayfish.

For the good of the Country you should be eating those badboys, preferably with some homemade Mayo and a touch of cayenne pepper [emoji486]
