A very popular stroll to the north of Ashton is along the towpath of the old Hollinwood Canal as it passes through Daisy Nook Country Park.
This photo looks from the junction with the Fairbottom Branch of the canal towards Crime Lake. The spillway carries surplus water away down to the River Medlock.
Two walkers are crossing the bridge over the spillway, hotly pursued by a group of eight ducks who think that a plastic carrier bag means feeding time.
See Birds Eye View of this location.
It always makes me laugh when the ducks chase people like that!
