This was our last port of call and we arrived a couple of days ago. Ann is now back in Nottingham, having caught the train back to Inverkip, Glasgow (where the car was) and then driven back home.
I am in Cayle Marina cleaning Jomima and waiting for the truck to arrive to take us back to Newark. This should happen on Wednesday but these things sometimes change.
Today dawned sunny but the weather forecast was for rain. I therefore decided to make best use of the sun, while it lasted, and take some photographs. I wanted to visit the end of the Caledonian Canal so that I will have seen all of it. The best way to do this was by bike, so I assembled my faithful stead and pedalled along the towpath. It was a lovely ride and, like all tow paths, apart from near the locks, it was relatively flat. The route took me past the Muirtown Flight of three locks and then over the swing bridge to Seaport Marina. This is a British Waterways marina and it looked well organised and a pleasant place to stay. Next I made my way past the Clachnaharry Works Lock and swing bridge. Then finally I reached the end of the canal at the Clachnaharry Sea Lock. Sadly, the tide was out so I was unable to see any boats passing through the lock although two yachts were moored near by waiting to pass through. I hope that you like the resulting photographs.
