Canal cycling
After our usual late Sunday lunch we went for a walk along the canal at Evran and took the children's (4 & 6) bikes. Of course you give all the warnings, 'not too close to the edge', 'not too fast', etc. Well we got away with it but Elizabeth swerved to avoid Hugh and nearly went over the edge and into the canal. A very lucky escape.
It did remind us of a story one of the gite guests recounted about their walk along the same canal. They witnessed a young girl (about 10 or 11) cycling along the towpath when splash, she cycled straight into the canal. Bike and girl underwater and once rescued, absolutely covered in mud.
