Re: Spider
It is Pisaura mirabilis, also known as Nursery Web Spider because females spin a protective web tent like structure to protect their young until they are large enough to wander off on their own.

Re: Spider
Related? These big ones are sometimes called "dock spiders" on this side of the pond because they like being near water and often live on wooden docks. I don't know what species they really are. I found this one on a lakeside dock. The third shot is a different one of the same species, sans egg sack, to give an idea of size.

Re: Spider
The spiders which carry an egg sac on their hind legs will be Pardosa species. I don't know if Dan's spider is the same family but it does look rather similar.
