HiRe: Post your daily exercise routine
A couple of Sunday's ago I walked North'ish along an 8 mile section of the New Junction canal from Braithwaite almost to Southfield Reservoir. Today I started from the village where I live and walked to Braithwaite, and today went South along the New Junction Canal. I passed the aqueduct where the canal goes over the River Don, it's quite spectacular, as the aqueduct also serves as a level for the canal, with excess water pouring over the side into the river. Sometimes when the river is in flood, it can reverse the action and flow back into the canal. Hence the large metal gates at each end that seal off the canal to prevent flooding.Re: Post your daily exercise routine
The distance astounds, but I can see why it is barely a thought on such a beautiful day. I am every fascinated with the locks and dams on your rivers over there OGF. The only time you see them here are on very large rivers or for dams, part of extensive reservoir systems. That aqueduct and canal crossing is a first for me. I really appreciate the engineering and ingenuity needed for projects like that.Re: Post your daily exercise routine
So good to be back doing my lengths again, struggling a wee bit though as all the strength I had built up in my arm and leg muscles has gone in the year away from the pool. A couple of days ago they turned on the Jacuzzis again along with the steam rooms and sauna, so I had a lovely soak in a piping hot one with a jet hammering into the small of my back........Absolute bliss, how I've missed it.Re: Post your daily exercise routine
Hi, Roxy! What fantastic news that you are back in the pool again! I was wondering when those openings would begin. How crowded is it?
