Emergency repairs on an Oxford towpath have been successfully completed, on the Thames Path towpath, just south of Donnington Bridge. The repairs had originally been planned for 2027. However, inspections showed the river wall was deteriorating more rapidly than anticipated.

📸 PHOTO OF THE DAY - From Towpath Talk follower Roff Smith:
"Metering for the thick but bright white mist that blanked the countryside created this watercolour effect along the stretch of towpath between Salterforth and Foulridge on the Leeds & Liverpool Canal"

Last week I walked on the 'Chemin de halage' on the Lot river! It's a towpath carved out in the limestone cliff. It was a pretty decent drop on my right side but you can notice I was fearless! 🤣

Morning from Marbury. It’s a cold one this morning but I do love these Autumn mornings. The colours are always so stunning. Hope you can wrap up warm and enjoy some nature today. Being in nature somehow makes the world feel like a better place 😊🤗

Barges were traditionally pulled by horses along the “towpath”, engines came much later. So steering was never an issue. It’s good fun though.

Proper frost this morning. Yesterday, the first sunshine in ages lured me along the canal towpath. One of the loveliest walks I've had all year! I'll keep some photos up my sleeve for the next rainy day. Have a good day! Xx

Margaret and Mary have been busy by Bobbie’s Bend at Borrowcop Locks Canal Park. They've been making use of the old upturned sections of the Big Pipe as planters and filled them with various plants and bulbs as part of improvements to that area.
