Up early doors and out for a wander before the world(oh and the rest of NB Ellis) woke...a wander up to Bingley locks to check out wot is what and I see tiny goslings protected by hissing mums. Encountered a few towpath cyclists with....bells..... All will be relieved to know that I escaped threatened bed bath by opting for the shower... I've also escaped chef duties which means Mark and Andy so far have avoided a tuna sandwich meal....
Lovely day with few rain showers and Ive sorta updated my knowledge on different sorts of locks and my first swing bridge. I must learn to avoid the newly greased paddles.....apparently the grease is a Heritage brand....whatever it is, it does not match the colour of my jacket..... A CRT employee very kindly provided potted history of the locks and showed me the remains of the old cottage. Pics will follow....

The forecast weather was supposed to be terrible. It must be your presence that's brought the sun out Rog

The L & L is a lovely bit of canal unspoiled by boaters I think we are going there again this year, with luck we will get to Skipton this year rather than Saltaire last time [beer, music and food festival got in the way]

We passed two moving boats today! Must be the summer rush. Rog We did a whole (long) cruising day on the Rochdale Canal last year, and we did not see one single boat, not even a moored boat. Absolutely nothing. I know it can be a bit of a pain to queue at locks during the high season but I think it's a shame when a canal is that underused.
