3½ days in the labs this week and busy work-from-home schedules meant today I could break for the weekend with a looooonnnnnnnggggg commute home along canals (some of which were so new to me that even the neighbourhoods were being trod for the first time by me).
The result was 16.3 miles (plus another 2.1 on a spouse induced death march), 160 canal furniture and related photos, and an increase in GVRAT mileage to 380.7. In the interest of maintaining interest, I’ve cut the canal furniture posts into thematically bundled sub-posts, vis:
Bridges (split in 2 but still enormous posts):
♦ Aston Canal
♦ Perry Barr Canal
Locks
Graffiti
Gauging stations and other items of interest
In a week full of coincidence between my virtual runs and the way I am living my real life, I ran through Snow Hill (Birmingham) and Snow Hill (Tennessee) today. I wound up (virtually) in Georgetown nest to a Dollar General and a Church of God…hope the bright lights of this big city don’t go to my head.
