When my husband need to go to work for a few hours so that I can follow him for a free lift to Whittington, Lichfield. I love the canal at the Whittington but lack of the time to walk at this beautiful canal. I do not know this place is so beautiful and it full of long boats parking at the side of the canal.
I have no ideas that the walking paths or tracks that leading to Burton and another one leading to Lichfield. My first time, when I took my walk which lead to Lichfield and it about 2.5 miles to Lichfield but unable to complete the walk so I will make it another time.
Today my husband need to go to work so decide to follow him so that I can walk along the canal. Unfortunately, in England it have been raining for a few weeks now and the walking path is muddy and slippery. Due to I did not wear the proper walking shoes and it is a rough walk for me, slipping on the mud but decide to carry on even it is a rough walk.
Walking about 2 hours and have no ideas where this path is leading to so luckily there is a gentleman walking pass and stop ask for direction and been told that this path which I am walking leading to Burton. I took the wrong walking path as I want to go to Lichfield and not Burton. So now I have to walk back again.
Luckily, it is a beautiful day with blue sky and sunset and saw a young man catching a big fish what an rewarding day even with the fall it still deserve it. I will comes again as it is a beautiful canal with beautiful woodland surrounding it.
There are lot of bridges over the canal where I can go over it and stand on it to enjoy the full view of the canal. This place deserve a visit as it is so beautiful along the canal.
