We then hit the Basingstoke canal where I haven't been before and cycled along the towpath. Its a bit like the Kennet and Avon but narrower and shallower. The water is also very clear.Just off the canal we found the ford on the river Whitewater.Its not a proper ford anymore as its not open to traffic. The river flows under some fences. All a bit odd but very picturesque.We then made our way back to the canal and cycled to the end taking in Odium Castle. If doesn't go to Basingstoke any more because of the colapsed Greywell Tunnel.We picked up  Sunstrans route 23 and branched off to the station to catch a train back. We didn't sit together on the train. We normally would have but we put each bike in a separare door way and say near them. I've found this website dedicated to fords http://www.wetroads.co.uk. Had a zoom with T, S, J and A in the evening. All OK. T and S making good progress moving in. Went up to the university on Friday morning as M needed to go the library. Its click and collect. Went for a bit of a wander around the campus. Then went for quite a long swim. M did 40 lengths. Had a fun call with the Lutonians in the evening. All doing well. Pete and Sue in Jersey. This is the view from their balcony. Brian in his studio. Ron and Lyn are going to be grand parents next easter. Got up late on Saturday. Listened to a Charles Paris. A good start to the day on Sunday. Had a bit of a lie in. Trimmed the jasmin by the side of the house and put a new tube in my mountain bike after the covid puncture a couple of weeks ago. M did roast lamb.
