    Grand Union canal

    care to narrow it down a bit? it's 137 miles long.

    Somewhere between London and Birmingham :mrgreen:

    No :lol:

    Although the main GUC runs from London to Brum as you rightly say, the picture isn't part of that section.

    That'll teach me :lol:

    correct, Church Stretton in the background - the road is the Burway.

    sorry, I've been out on the bike . I think the weather might be getting better at last. Puffins are in at Bempton and Flamborough.
    I keep getting them because , I am beginning to realise, I am very old and have been to lots of places. I was a bit late on the great orme pic or I'd have got that too.
    Church stretton used to have an annual fell run that I got dragged into once; and that was an exhausting day that I will never forget.

    DSCF0470_zps5300f69a.jpgthis is a maize dryer and a local emblem.

    the climate is said to be like cornwall , it is very hilly cycling but lovely quiet lanes.The octopus is served very rare and they are inclined to eat some terrible barnacles , but the rest of the food is really good.

    i have not cycled in many countries with a digital camera.

    very near to la corunna , that could be accepted if nobody gets it spot on. It is a fishing port along the north coast, very spanish, surf school on the next beach east.
    I found the climate much better for cycling in summer than other parts of spain.
