While heading up the path to the canal our trip started with the sight of the West Coast Railways Santa special steaming towards Lancaster. It was being pulled along by a diesel as Rudolph and the gang must have had the weekend off. We had a wet and windy start to our paddle but the weather soon improved so it didn't deter the four of us from enjoying a paddle along Lancaster canal from Bolton le Sands up towards Capernwray. Here we stopped for dinner and a chat where several dogs took a fancy to our sandwiches. On the way back we spotted a kingfisher skimming along the top of the water aswell as plenty of ducks. A pleasant trip was had by all along a scenic stretch of the Lancaster canal.
