<\/a>\nI walked on the the Walton Hall Car Park and my friend Kate soon arrived. We were off up the canal but distracted by our conversation we missed our turning. A chance stop at a Chandlers for a toilet put us back on the right route which included a bridge over the Manchester Ship Canal. Luckily Bob was coming towards us by this point, on what was part of the Transpennine Trail. We crossed over the river Mersey, through a small memorial woodland and onto the St Helens canal.
\nKate and I had been talking about Wilding Worship, something I hope to follow up when my walk is completed.<\/p>\n
From Psalm 139 Today I give thanks: JAL 22.05.2019 Day 47 of the End to End was another example of the green corridor that seems to run even through industrial areas. I started on the Bridgewater Canal at Moore Bridge. The local post office did some lovely little fresh sandwiches which came in handy later. I walked along to Walton and made a brief … Continue reading “The green corridor”<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-398","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/foowr.org.uk\/lejogblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/398","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/foowr.org.uk\/lejogblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/foowr.org.uk\/lejogblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/foowr.org.uk\/lejogblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/foowr.org.uk\/lejogblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=398"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/foowr.org.uk\/lejogblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/398\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":399,"href":"https:\/\/foowr.org.uk\/lejogblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/398\/revisions\/399"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/foowr.org.uk\/lejogblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=398"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/foowr.org.uk\/lejogblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=398"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/foowr.org.uk\/lejogblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=398"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}<\/a>
\nBob gave Kate a lift back to her car and I ate my little sandwiches in the park. The Sankey canal is the oldest in England, and it has been turned into a walking and cycle route and leisure area. The old canal route is now much wilder with more mature trees, wetland areas and havens for all kinds of wildlife. What industry no longer uses has gone back to nature. After Bewsey Lock the canal is silted up forming a reed bed. Through Dallam and up to Vulcan Village there are signs of the course of the old waterway and it comes back again just where we took the footpath into Vulcan Village for the end of today’s walk.<\/p>\n<\/a>
\nIt was a good route past Warrington: a green corridor bursting with life.<\/p>\n
\n
\nI praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; all that you have made is wonderful, as I know full well.<\/i><\/p>\n
\nFor the diversity of creation from the smallest plant to the largest tree,
\nFrom scarlet pimpernel, such a tiny flowers, to the oak, sycamore and beech,
\nFrom the Ladybird to the Grey Heron:
\nAll is wonderful.
\nFor the support of friends and colleagues,
\nFor shared visions and a shared journey,
\nFor companions on the way:
\nAll is wonderful.
\nTonight I pray,
\n
\nGod grant us a quiet night and a peaceful end. <\/b><\/p>\n
