Time to make connections
Busy day getting through locks while the sun shines.
Deciding not to drive.
Leaky locks, shallow water and tight turns on the way to Leek.
Do we fit through the other tunnel?
Getting a move on with driving and fixing things.
The question is how far can we go?
Industrial heritage is a feature of the canals.
Having a cool trip on the Caldon
Rocking, rolling boulders and brilliant bricks
Which path should we choose?
From the Heart of Midlothian to the Heart of Stone.
Bartimaeus goes somewhere new for the first time this year.
Going to the end of Edinburgh and reaching the end of our staycation.
We gear up for a cooler day.
We take small steps in the right direction.
Exploring Edinburgh gardens, cafes and graveyards.
We enjoy calm days before the city bustle.
Returning home to Edinburgh from Stone to cooler temperatures, but warm gatherings and a mix of old and new.
