Pedestrian and cycle traffic on the Birmingham and Warwick Junction canal towpath was certainly up on the usual levels, possibly due to the industrial action taking place on 21 June. A cyclist and pedestrian meet as 66303 Rail Riders awaits the right away with 4Z92 South Bank to Daventry Tesco company train which had been severely delayed due to issues with points in the Kingsbury area, finally departing 141 minutes down.
Sunday was a great day for a run or a bicycle ride along the I & M Canal towpath as seen here at Lock 8. Processed with Nik Color Efex Pro 4

The Thompson-Neely Homestead, New Hope, Pennsylvania
The Thompson-Neely House served as a temporary regimental army hospital during Washington’s winter campaign of 1776/1777. Ill and injured soldiers were brought to this home of the Thompson and Neely families for medical treatment and recovery. A young officer from Virginia named James Monroe, who was seriously injured during the First Battle of Trenton, convalesced here. In 1817, he became the fifth president of the United States. Wounded with Monroe was William Washington, a distant cousin of the commander-in-chief. He too recovered at this location. Captain James Moore of the New York Artillery died here of camp fever on Christmas day and is buried on the property (in what is now the Soldiers’ Graves area), along with other men who died either in the encampment or battle.
Selling lots of their lovely homemade goods from their narrowboats, nice to see it thriving, who needs internet shopping.
It's amazing what you can find a few hundred meters from the town center. The towpath seems to be a haven for wild flowers.

Just east of Queens Head nr Oswestry, Shropshire, UK. The near bridge is a farm access, the far one the Gobowen - Shrewsbury railway line. The tow path is very rough for cycling!

Having decided to go out and snap the northbound Whistler tour I couldn't believe my luck when, in the space of a few minutes, a southbound Shed crossed Dutton Viaduct to be followed shortly afterwards by this Tug. The Shed, snapped from the other side, never made the cut but I thought Tug had merit, especially seeing as they've been scarce along this stretch of the West Coast Mainline in recent times.
DB Cargo unit 60059 is doing the honours with the 8.47am Arpley Sidings - Tunstead Sidings (6H02) - it's nice to see a Tug on the River Weaver for a change!
