I parked the car on the hill. It cost me £3, and I could
have got away with street parking if I’d thought about it, but it somehow felt
more secure to be parked on the premises that I was visiting. A short walk down
a well-laid path led me alongside a rail track, at the end of which was a large,
metallic figure-of-eight. Below this was a marina, and next to this was a
metallic pyramid-shaped building which was the visitor’s centre. I’d arrived a
bit early and popped into the gift shop to get some souvenirs while it was
still quiet to get the lay of the land of where I’d need to check in for my
voyage. I found a lovely keyring and snapped it up right away. Then I decided
to walk back up the hill to see the canal at the top end of the wheel.
