Playing on the Canal

I walked along Regents Canal in June. It was a hot day and after leaving Limehouse Station on the Docklands Light Railway, I walked along until I came to where Regents Canal meets Limehouse Basin. A group of teenagers were having a great time. They had setup a rope from the bridge over the first lock so that they could swing back-and-forth and jump into the basin. Everyone was having a competition to see who could swing the farthest.
