It has to have a canal connection

I could not resist taking advantage of the Bike to Work scheme recently offered. I have three light hearted ambitions

1. To visit America - Done twice now
2. To catch a Barbel, its still out there waiting for me....
3. To cycle from Lands end to John O'Groats !!

Spot the connection ....

So my new ped arrived last week and I started my 'training' with a 10 mile shake down ride on Saturday touching the Peak District then Sunday with a 20 ride out to Willington.

Can you spot possibly the most expensive boat (secondhand) on the waterways?








Six boats up from the bottom £170,000 to you - yeah right



Looking down into Duffield as I test the granny gears.

Halfie,

The inner chainring, makes it so easy your granny could get up the hills


Andy,

The Caldon is one of my favourites - good memories, I'm glad you got back ok and really enjoyed reading about the cruise. Not sure I'd have risked the paintwork through Froghall tunnel !
