My trip to Edinburgh is dominated by cycling and cycling friends.
Adventures in Scotland and beyond, a colourful time in mixed weathers.
Bryn, Shane and I are heading to Edinburgh but don't want to be just on the train all day, so seek some diversion.
There are more things to see on the canal than locks, and some creative cooking, to conclude Bryn's visit.
We now have a chance to be where we planned to be.
We make it to the top of the "Stairway to Heaven".
Canal and River Trust under-promise and over-deliver.
We have a lot of locks to get through, but will we manage in time?
Nothing goes quite as expected on my latest visit
A shortage of water isn't our only problem.
Signs of life, danger and death
Our cruising options continue to shrink.
We were looking forward to Bryn coming and the signs were we would have a good time.
Risk reduction is on our minds.
Being in the water is a mixed blessing.
Play doesn't stop when you grow up.
Sometimes the littlest things are a delight.
We return to the Bosworth field for a series of unconnected events.
What "the end" means needs to be justified.
Unexpected developments and discoveries are part of the fun.
Sometimes a small fix can make a big improvement.
We travel very slowly along the Ashby Canal.
Babies are hard to resist and I love to see them learn. It isn't just the young who need to learn from their mistakes either.
