Canal walk at Grues

Back to the guide book the following week, and a short journey to Grues just inland from La Tranche 

We found some beautiful bulrushes...
...and a skeletal tree.
For much of the walk we followed the River Lay...
...the track along the levee at times. This area floods often in the winter months.
There's a whole system of sluices to control the water level

My intrepid companion with her jacket off: it must have been warm!
Wild plums, there for the taking!
A more dramatic sluice/lock...

...and the walk back to the village.
