Canal Walks | Walking the Trent and Mersey | Bridge 58 in Handsacre to Bridge 61A in Armitage

Welcome to the first instalment of the ‘Canal Walks Series’. I am fortunate enough to have lived very close to the Trent and Mersey canal in the heart of Staffordshire all of my life. I enjoy walking and what better place to walk than along the many miles of beautiful canals we have.

There are many videos showing the canal from the boaters perspective but not as many from the walkers perspective as we negotiate the towpath and enjoy the stunning scenery, so that is what I am hoping to do with the “Canal Walks’ videos.

These will be occasional videos featuring short walks along the canals in my part of the world and who knows, maybe even a bit further afield.

The walks will all be presented in real time with no editing or overlaid soundtrack. The walks will be filmed in no particular sequence and I aim to film them at different times of the year for a changing perspective of the landscape.

To start with, this first walk is along my local patch of the Trent and Mersey from Bridge 58 in Handsacre to Bridge 61A in Armitage (The ‘Armitage Tunnel’).

Other videos in the Walking the Trent and Mersey Canal walking series can be found by following the links below:

➡️ Part Two - Bridge 61A in Armitage to Bridge 64 in Rugeley: https://youtu.be/bNNny0szlhk
➡️ Part Three - Bridge 64 in Rugeley to Bridge 67 in Rugeley: https://youtu.be/aQz9hEDeCsc
➡️ Part Four - Bridge 67 in Rugeley to Bridge 68 in Rugeley: https://youtu.be/8M3N546e3OI

If you would like to try this walk for yourself, the total distance is approximately 1.5 miles and took me around 30 minutes to complete at an average walking pace.

The walk was filmed on Friday 16th July 2021 in glorious sunshine and blue skies.

This video was filmed using an iPhone 8 and a Hohem iSteady Mobile Gimbal. It was edited on an iPad Pro using LumaFusion.

Sit back and enjoy the walk.
