Quekett Excursion to Basingstoke Canal/Brookwood Surrey

[gpmatthews]

Yesterday was the annual excursion of the Quekett Microscopical Club to the Basingstoke Canal at Brookwood. Here is a link to some photos:

We were threatened with rain, but in fact the weather was excellent and sunny, allowing us to have a leisurely walk to do some botany, whilst also collecting water samples for microscopical examination. My wife and daughter came along too, and the pictures are a selection of the family's photos.

The excursion to the Basingstoke Canal has become an annual event for the Quekett Microscopical Club, and we were there again 2 days ago.

You can see a report on the Quekett website, with photographs of the canal, the members, their equipment and some of the specimens that we photographed with cameras and microscopes.
