That was an experience.

Early milestones were stones with distances (in miles) to key towns chiselled in.

This "milestone" is steel. It was placed in 1819, and is now painted black and white—the traditional colours of everything that belonged to British Waterways.

15 years ago the UK government dumped those assets into a trust (Canal & River Trust). It's now responsible for maintenance and was given a decade to become self-funding.

3 satellite QSOs via the International Space Station

Satellite hunting on Regent's Canal, with a nice coffee while reading my book. Another successful day hunting satellites today. This time I managed 3 QSOs via the International Space Station, ISS. Thanks to MM9SQL (Peter, the developer of Cloudlog), G0BIH, and PD1B. Thanks all, 73s.

Join us tonight as we reflect on that often under-appreciated companion to the canals, the humble towpath. We uncover its vital importance in the past and how in, recent years, its relationship with the canal has been changing. We also meet up again with E. Temple Thurston and the good captain Eynsham Harry as the meet a figure of the forgotten past.
