I've just got in from a 13.5 mile cycle from Cambridge to Sharpness and back along the canal. It was a beautiful evening and the wildlife along the canal was out in force. The swans are a particular treat and I saw 4 flying tonight, which is a spectacle you can never tire of. There were lots of baby cygnets out and they're all starting to get quite big now, but they're very cute. I passed lots of dragonflies and butterflies, not sure what sort, but pretty to see.
There were lots of canal folks out tonight and I could have sat down with one group who were just enjoying a barbecue which smelt great. I had to make do with a banana when I stoppped at the Purton Ship Graveyard.
Probably the best part of tonight's ride was seeing a woodpecker! It just flew out of the bushes, straight in front of me and landed in a tree. He was bright green with red and a very long beak.
We're having our first team meeting tomorrow night and I'll be handing out the sponsorship forms, so beware, we'll all be asking you for your support!!
