Made it to Mulhouse

Here we are in Mulhouse, which is most satisfactory. Now it’s on to the Rhine and into Germany. It was another hot day with plenty of locks – this time we went ahead of our French travelling companions. I’m not sure how much they liked that, but tough cookie. They went ahead yesterday. Lots and lots of cyclists on the towpath, many in garish lycra (more the men than the women).  One splendid family party consisted of two little girls following their mother and learning to roller blade, followed by an older girl and boy and father on unicycles.

Forgot earlier to post this pic of the unusual craft the canal company employs to try to reduce the weed infestation – they could do with a lot more, in my opinion.


Also a happy colour coordination



And a vintage muck spreader put to more odoriferous use.
