From Salterforth to locks at Bank Newton
Had a very leisurely day yesterday. Just one tunnel - Foulridge - the longest and wettest so far. Spent the remainder of the day in Salterforth, Lancashire, where there was a village fun day, and The Anchor pub, where the bar is in the old bedroom area as an extra floor had to be built on, to raise it to canal level.
Today we started our descent down the Pennines, from the dizzy height of 150 metres above sea level. To mark our return to Yorkshire, we stopped for lunch at the Cross Keys, at East Marton, but alas it is no longer a Theakston house, but we made the best of it.
In order to conserve water, the locks ahead are available from 10am to 6pm, so we will have a leisurely start tomorrow as we move down to Skipton.
