Crinan Canal, Britain’s most beautiful shortcut! ✅

WOW! Can’t believe that Neil, my older brother Douglas and myself, walked the whole of the Crinan Canal in both directions, a distance of around 20 miles! So maybe the longest single day walk, that any of us done!

It really does live up to it’s name, of Britain’s most beautiful shortcut!
