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.

If possible, please post photos of how you harvest your specimens. I suspect that this is an unappreciated art. Thanks.

[Alan Wood]

Crusty, that is a good idea.

I will be at Brookwood taking photographs for the report, so I will try to remember to take photos of the equipment.

... and if Alan misses anything, I'll be taking pictures, too...
