Knee is getting better but still painful. I’m so annoyed as this week was supposed to be my solo hike/walk time and I only managed about an hour and a half. I hope my knee is at least good enough on Monday for my husband and I to bike a loop in the New Forest. I’ll be renting an electric bike so it shouldn’t be too physically demanding for me.

To keep dry while underway, some boaters use a pram—a tent-like shelter with plastic-sheet windows. But prams must be lowered at each bridge.

Not just prams; boaters, cyclists and pedestrians also must duck.

Downhill of each lock, canal towpaths descend sharply, like a ramp—the horses that towed canal boats had to stay level beside the boat.

Where those ramps dive under a low, unlit bridge: duck!

I've started walking south of the Tyne with some friends who live in Yorkshire, today's walk was great but the highlight undoubtably fantastic views of 4 black grouse on an inbye field. They looked like they were lekking, flashing tail feathers and wings, but I thought they only did that at dawn?

My ankle is a lot better today thanks to ice and ibuprofen, but my knee is still very stiff and painful, so we’ve had to cancel the walk with our friends. My son is very disappointed ☹️ but it’s quite rainy here now so it wouldn’t have been a fun walk anyway.

My lovely walk today was cut short because I rolled my ankle on a pothole on a country lane, fell down and hurt my knee and wrist. So rather than a 15km walk, I ended up only walking about 7km. When I got home and took my boot off, my ankle swelled up and is now in agony. So my boot kept my ankle stable and pain free, which I guess is a good thing, but I may have walked on it too much.
We have a walk planned with friends tomorrow as well, hope I’ll be able to walk then. It’s not looking hopeful 😭😭.
