Summer walk

Walked the full route yesterday with a bit of getting to the start walked too. The route and social media trail will be here shortly. On my way out to Saltford I started thinking about the locks and the tow paths issue and resolved to walk into Bath all the way along the tow path. The more I thought about this I realised that the locks are on the North side of the river and until the path crosses the river at Newbridge the path is on the south side. Interesting...given the story that at first they got permission for locks but not for two paths and that the boats were hauled up the rive by men/women in harness. A very lush walk in deep green amongst the trees. Rain falling at first the trees keep me dry and then big ploppy rain falling from the leaves. Cold and slow moving steady shower. I sat under the railway bridge and felt its mass. Someone overnighting here maybe or the cans evidenced a party. Graffiti. Above on the old railway bridge the partititions of iron and steel framed a gallery of graffiti, some of ti quite recent. Colourful eruption of urban life in the green of the trees and the decaying leftovers of industry. My tweet tagging graffiti went global.
