| The start of our walk today took us out of the village of Sedgwick via the railway arch. |
 |
| Leaving the road behind us we set off across lush green fields. |
 |
| After climbing to the top of a hill, with pleasant views on the other side we decided to have our morning coffee. |
 |
 |
| Heading downhill towards a farm we chanced upon this unusual variety of mushroom. |
 |
| Our intended route on arriving at the canal, was to have been along the towpath, but due to work being carried out on the Stainton Aqueduct, our way was barred. |
 |
| A short detour to the next bridge along and we found a picnic bench where we had our dinner in the now warm sunshine. |
 |
| Our walk from here was for the most part, following the route of the disused section of the canal, a short stretch of which was in the process of being restored, but the greater part of which has been reclaimed by nature. |
 |
| Mike cautiously examines one of the rings through which the rope passed, for hauling the boats through the tunnel. |
 |
| One of the bridges over the towpath through which the horses were led, to get them from one end o't tunnel t'tother. |
 |
| Isn't that just wonderful? |
 |
| Someone has gone to a lot of trouble to make this section of the tow path a delightful place for children, and adults also. |
 |
| The sign hung on the tree next to Dave reads, sitabit, so he did. |
 |
| The Cheshire cat. |
 |
| Still following the route of the canal. |
