Canal Walk The Basingstoke Canal passes close by my house and it also passes close by Brookwood railway station. So I got up early one morning, got the train to Brookwood and walked the 14 miles home down the canal.It's surprisingly hard work walking 14 miles along a very flat path.

Rain! About three or four miles from home it started to absolutely lash down. As I only had a waterproof jacket with me and no waterproof legs, I waiting under a bridge for a while, but it showed no sign of letting up. So I walked for the last hour in the pouring rain with very wet legs.It was still a jolly good walk though.
