Today in Pictures, a wet walk down "t" cut.

1. Cut Lane as it goes over the canal, notice the "hump" that looks like a spoil pile.
2. The direction we are heading.
3. Our journey so far.
4. I'm just sitting watching flowers in the rain, hey...... that would make a good song.
5. A small oasis of habitation set in farmland.
6. Now that's a heavy duty barge.
7. Time to turn around.
8. A long gone railway, all that remains is the bridge that the trains went over and the underpass linking a farmer with his livestock. On a day like today, wet and still, you can hear the distant whistle of the steam train as it leaves our conciousness and heads for the only place it can be observed, photographs, and if you really strain the cerebellum you can still evoke the smells of steam, metal on metal, coal, and warm oil, with the merest hint of a Woodbine.
