I have been canoeing along this lovely canal a lot this year and it has grown to be one of my favourite places. Seeing it through all of the seasons you do get a fair appreciation of the place. So I thought I would collect together a few of my favourite photographs and lay them out for you to enjoy. Some you might recognise from TTs but I have tried to include some that have not yet been shown.
Please, enjoy the Caldon canal through the seasons
