Expedition Number 2 begins.

Captain's log.    Wed. 27th July.
It was a roundabout way to Old Roan, via Euxton, Preston and Ormskirk, but we want to use public transport where possible, as we are a couple of 'oldies' with bus passes and railcards!
The house below is on Ormskirk Station. It may once have been the station-master's home.


We're back at bridge 7D for today's start.  Destination------bridge17.

This side of the bridge is not very pretty but the scenery improves as we continue on our way.
The canal bank is home to a great variety of wild flowers.
Here are a few we saw today.
Yellow water-lilies.
Bulrushes.
Hedge parsley.
Common poppies and brambles.
Rosebay Willowherb (and me!)
