Haigh Hall Country Park to Riley Green, moving north along the Leeds and Liverpool Canal via Botany Bay!
Well it's been another hard day at the tiller! but alot more pleasant than yesterday.
We are slowly ascending the hills up towards the Pennines. Double width locks with very heavy gates certainly take some opening, where's that crew girl! We did 7 locks today at Johnson's Hillock, so it is on through Blackburn tomorrow. Hardly saw anyone else moving on a boat, but we did encounter 3 day boats pirouetting around, with several senior citizens onboard making very slow progress to their pub lunch.
Our pictures show one of several sunken boats we have passed in the last 24hours , and also the crane at Botany Bay Boatyard for crane anoraks.
