A fragment of the old Monkland Canal passing under Castle Street in Glasgow. Designed by James Watt, this canal was completed in 1794 and was built to bring coal into Glasgow. Most of it was filled in when the M8 was built in the 1970s. If you look on the right hand side, you can still see where the ropes used to pull the barges have worn grooves into the metal positioned to protect the stonework on the corner of the bridge.

“The Towpath Beckons Once Again” https://heliomass.com/posts/2501-the-towpath-beckons-once-again/

New on the blog, and a belated first post of the year: A photo essay on London’s Regent’s Canal.

Why not join us as we gather around the stove on a bitingly cold night of sleety squalls to celebrate the joys of a warm fire and the comfort of three stars to light our ways through the night.

A reminder that we are only 1 month away from the 2025 return of the Fish Doorbell, which is one of the most lovely sites on the internet. https://visdeurbel.nl/

Apparently a lot of bikes end up in the canals of #Amsterdam due to theft, vandalism, and drunkenness.

The city's water authority, Waternet, uses a crane and metal claws to remove the bikes, a process known as "bicycle fishing".

The recovered bikes are either sold for scrap or repaired.

This is the Falkirk Tunnel. Carved out of solid rock in the 1820s, at 630 metres long it's Scotland's longest canal tunnel. Before Scotland's first intercity train line opened between Glasgow and Edinburgh in 1842, the quickest way to get between these two cities was using the Swifts. These were canal boats pulled by teams of horses that could get you from Edinburgh to Glasgow in less than 8 houra and involved passing through this tunnel.

Need your help, media friends. I think I've finished this picture, but I could add more detail, or shading, or clouds... Would that diminish the focus on the bridge? #canals #cycling www.boddyonthetowpath.co.uk
