8th June Monday

We had a pleasant walk along the towpath and through some woods to the Visitor Centre at the Mere.  We then went for a wander around the edge of the Mere and saw some interesting sculptures that have been placed there over a number of years.  After lunch we found a different route back to Oliver.  This took us through some of the older streets and to the end of the “arm” where there is a lovely old crane alongside the winding hole next to the now almost derelict Shropshire Union Railways and Canals building.  We met up again with “Tam Shaz” and heard some more interesting stories of life on the canals from Nigel.
