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.

Chemin de Halage ... Towpath for horse drawn flat bottomed boats
Taillé dans la roche entre Saint-Cirq Lapopie et Bouziès Construit en 1845 par les hommes, le chemin de halage était utilisé par les chevaux afin de permettre aux gabares ou bateaux à fond plat, de remonter les courants chargés de marchandises locales en direction de Bordeaux.
Les produits chargés étaient plutôt des vins de Cahors, des prunes séchées mais également les productions des tourneurs sur bois et plus précisément des robinets de tonneaux à vin.
En 1926, le Lot est déclassé comme rivière navigable et réaménagé pour la navigation de plaisance depuis 1990.
Carved into the rock between Saint-Cirq & Bouzies and built in 1845 by men, this towpath was used by horses to allow scows or flat-bottomed boats, to go up the currents with local marchandise towards Bordeaux .
The products loaded were Cahors wine, dried plums, & also the productions of wood turners and more specifically wine barrels taps.
In 1926, the Lot is downgraded as a navigable river and has been refurbished to boating since 1990.
