Leaving the car park at Rea Bridge John leads us along the Canal towards Gloucester
Passing fishermen and sailors
Plenty of Gloucester's history on the boat - owned by an ex Chelsea supporter?
Passing a swing bridge
Won't get a smile out of this lot
Something to do with Christmas apparently
Old boats laid up
Making our way round the basin
And continuing towards the city docks
Cats everywhere
Funny face painted on the swing bridge
Old warehouses across the canal
Old lightship in the docks
Nearing the docks but the swing bridge has been lifted
A name to think about
Bridge on its way down
Mike thinking back to his skating days
As we watch the activity
A pirate chest?
Leaving the docks the crew of the Bearded Dwarf pose for a photo
Not a bad restaurant apparently
Now on the edge of Hempsted Tip
Over a wooden bridge
John waiting for us to catch up
An ancient well
Looking towards May Hill
Our path takes us through Hempsted Churchyard
Past the church
Along a stretch of road
Better have a whip round just in case we forget
Must be the Severn
Another bridge awaits
Over the canal
Somebody been out distributing Winter Walk Festival leaflets
Christmas is here
Along with port
And mince pies
