Return to Chilwell

I did the return journey to pick up my car this morning. I followed the canal most of the way, then cut through the Attenborough Nature Reserve and through Chilwell . As it was flat towpath, I buried my head in my book as I walked, with the dogs on the leash to prevent them from getting into mischief while I read.

I'm reading War by Sebastian Junger. The author spent a year following a platoon of American soldiers, fighting in the Korenghal Valley, Afghanistan. The author also directed the documentary "Restrepo", which I haven't seen yet, covering the same subject.
The canal had been dredged recently and there were various items of scrap metal on the bank, awaiting collection.
