Wednesday 4th September
Beautiful Rainbow |
We are on the move
today but not far, just around the corner to Coole Pilate Leisure Area where
there are picnic benches and BBQs.
Coming to a Bridge |
We set off along
the canal on a nice sunny morning. We
went under a two bridges and then we were at Coole Pilate where we moored
up. There was only a couple of boats
there so plenty of room for us.
Lots of Geese in the Field |
Nice Bright Morning |
In the afternoon
we went out for a walk as it was dry and quite sunny but windy. We walked along the towpath and got off at
Bridge 80 and walked down the track to Overwater Marina.
Nearly at Coole Pilate |
There is a nice
café there so we stopped off there for a coffee. They make really nice scones and today the
scone of the day was cheese so we had one of them and delicious it was too.
Many Geese on the Canal |
Many Ducks |
It had gone a bit
overcast and started spitting with rain as we left the marina but got harder
and harder. We did shelter under a few
trees but still got quite wet. We walked
on and then the sun came out and there was a beautiful rainbow over the
fields. We managed to get back to the
boat in the dry.
In the evening we
looked out the window and the canal was full of ducks, we have never seen so
many all together and a bit further down was many geese, the canal was full!
We are staying
here for a couple of days as it is a really nice spot to moor then on Friday we
will chug down to near the marina as this weekend they have an RNLI fundraising
weekend so we will pop along to that.
Moored at Coole Pilate |
