A Daytrip to Bastions Canal District

Was lucky enough recently to grab a free daytrip to the Canal District of Chris McDowall's Bastion.

Not the game. The real, actual place.

First a stay at the charming Station Hotel;

Then a quick stroll through a series of concrete tunnels;

Before finally arriving at the coast. 

It was certainly day-tripper weather;

The place was full of charming follies & adornments;

The world-famous canal-boats were in fine fettle;

Arranged in all their glory;

I was lucky enough to get a look inside some local homes;

They were full of modern amenities;

The most up-to-date "Mod Cons"

Academic achievements on display;

The phone box was locked, presumably for safety;

People may claim that Bastions Canal District has seen better days..

But as you can clearly observe here..

Things can only get better!

A boat of yester-year here on display.

Some tools of the boat-painters art.

An artefact retrieved from.. somewhere.

Some more of the boat-painters-art. Based on real castles?

I can absolutely confirm that everything about the Canal District is;

"Healthily active, mildly adventurous and abounding in interest."

Unfortunately, all good things come to an end, and it was time to say goodbye!
