A Walk Along The Canal Towpath From Thorne To Stainforth

A significantly better weather forecast for Doncaster than the Peak District today and so I caught the Scunthorpe train to Thorne South railway station this morning. I haven't used this station before, neither have I used the recently built platform 0 at Doncaster Station from where it departs...it's quite a distance from the other platforms. I've been to Thorne plenty of times before but whenever I've caught the train I've always got off at Thorne North.

I walked into the town centre going via the church and the earthworks remains of the castle.




 










I popped in to one of the bakery shops and got a really good bargain, a dozen of yesterday's cakes for only 90p - I didn't eat any of them though since I'd already eaten my sandwiches on the train. I then walked along the canal towpath to Stainforth and caught the bus back to Doncaster. My foot was starting to hurt me, I'm convinced that it's a residual sixth toe I've got; I've never had the doctor look at it though.
