How very British is that? The photo just above is of the quietly flowing Ripon canal, upon which the rain is gently beating down.
More man-made flowing water: A lock on a different canal, the Leeds -Liverpool Canal, near Gargrave: and a detail from a different lock – er – somewhere else.


No waterfalls on a canal. To find those, you need to find trainee waterfalls, like this little torrent in Cantabria, or these jumping, weaving and bumbling ones on the River Wharfe at Grassington, and the River Swale near Muker.



Then there’s the sea: a winter sea here, at West Wittering: and a summer sea at Premià de Mar. All that equipment tells you the sea had been flowing rather too much, and nicking the beach. The citizens wanted their sands back.


But if you’re going to do this, or any other challenge, what you need most is a photographer to record these images for you. Here he is. I can’t use his photos, because he went off, unidentified, taking all his images with him.

My favourite walk into town is along the Kennet and Avon Canal some of which is currently off limits as they resurface the towpath. I’m missing it. That photographer looks so absorbed , I wonder if he knew he was being snapped!
