Detailed distances
As promised many moons ago, I have finally got round to adding detailed distances to help walkers and cyclists who are planning a trip along the canal.

The list was originally from a very old Edward Baine's Directory of Leeds & District but has since been amended and updated.

The reference to 'flg' in the distance refers to a furlong which is one-eighth of a mile, 220 yards, 660 feet or 201 metres!

Fantastic weekend
Thomas and I have just had a brilliant weekend on the Leeds & Liverpool Canal, this time cruising rather than walking.

We were very kindly invited by Richard Carpenter to travel on 'Elysium' from Rufford to Wigan. Our first day was a cruise covering this stretch. Our second day we conquered the Wigan flight which was no easy task. It was fun every inch of the way and a weekend we will never forget.

I have created a new 'bits & bobs' section which contains a few photos of our outing.

I will also add more material to this section over time including detailed distances etc.
