If, like me, you are a gongoozler then combine your love of watching activity on the canals with walking their towpaths to raise vital funds and #KeepCanalsAlive #CanalLife
Thank you Canal & River Trust for always doing an excellent job of maintaining the towpath verges along the Endon stretch of Caldon Canal.
The local Canal & River Trust West Midlands team try and strike the right balance between careful vegetation management and letting wildlife thrive. ππ±π¦π¦π

We're visiting Blisworth Tunnel on the Grand Union in the 1920s.
Did you know Blisworth Tunnel is wide enough for two narrowboats to pass in opposite directions? π€ Itβs also the third-longest navigable canal tunnel in the UK!
The photos youβve shared with us this month βMayβ be our favourites yet!
We love seeing what you get up to on our network, whether itβs chasing the sunset, spotting local wildlife or cruising to your next destination π

Some of the tall ships at this year's #TallShipsFestival in #Gloucester headed back out onto the Severn today to continue their journey to their next destination. It's been a brilliant few days welcoming the ships to Gloucester Docks and another fantastic festival in the city.
