Well started my fortnight off today, thank goodness..
I am just going to spend the time with family travelling around the place and visiting places where you dont normally go or dont have the time to go to normally...
Day 1 we had a right good long lie in and then i decided to go to the falkirk wheel, which due to good fortune we bumped into one of the local boat captains on the way to the Falkirk Wheel visitor centre http://www.thefalkirkwheel.co.uk/ who asked us if we had booked a trip "which we hadnt " so he said he had some room and was going for a wee trip down the canal to lock 16 then back up then up the wheel itself..
a nice relaxing cruise in the Bonny Barge with Billy Mason http://www.sustainable-scotland.com/bonnybarge.htm which was excellent, i took the wife and junior squiro and they thouroughly enjoyed themselves.
The whell itself is a catelever system and is as smooth as anything, you dont even feel as if your moving when its going...
i would recommend you go for a day out and give Billy a wee shout..
