Purton, and the car park is full of children and kayaks
We cross the swing bridge
And pass a duck and duckling. Karen and Tony say there were more, but the seagulls have had them
Along the tow path
An idyllic scene on the canal
And the River Severn just the other side of us
A swan uses this old boat for a nest, with a grebe as a guard
Lovely sky over the river
Looking upstream
Where the pillars of the old bridge are visible
Lots of boats moored at Sharpness
The two Severn Crossings in the distance
A drink stop - it's very humid
Another hulk, away from the majority
Here are its details
Vetch
Don't know what this is, but there are masses of it all along the path
A lego-coloured scrapyard of cranes
Through the pretty village of Hinton
Karen leads us through fields of barley
Which appear to stretch right to the river
Finally back at Purton church, where Keith takes on a concierge sheep.
