Well, the weather wasn't forecast to be on the damp side (they don't always get it right!)
Great to see some of our regulars back on track.
Very helpful notices on what goes on now and what was here before us.
A host of golden daffodils.
The smelly part of the river - a bit yucky!
We were all trying to work out how the fish were going to reach the wires.
Lock gates were being replaced and the lock had been drained.
You can find some strange things at the bottom of a lock.
We had a good view of what was going on.
Boats belonging to Robin Hood's merry men?
The winter greys and the drab browns have a charm of their own.
There must be a good photo to be had.
Walking on towards the metal sculptures, rusting away on the side of the canal.
With so many paths at Watermead it was good to choose a different route.
Not many of us had seen this prehistoric monster before.
Mum, dad and baby looking for a snack - unfortunately none of us had any titbits on us to give away.
A friendly dog looking for attention.
The group photo.
Off to the pub.
The pub was very busy as usual. After our drinks we gathered together ready for the walk back through the water park.
We were lucky to come across a heron which our photographer managed to capture in full flight.
Waiting for a passing meal.
Lunch time?
The sky was starting to turn rather grey - fortunately, we weren't too far from the car park.
A quick peep to see if there were any unusual visitors.
Just one more picture.
Oh - what's that on the horizon, time to go home.
Good walk - about six miles. Weather could have been better, hopefully it will be next week.
