Walking the towpath

This lovely old bridge spans the canal close to home . Sadly, it has been joined by a very modern one leading to the inevitable housing estate on the edge of the canal. We walk this 3/4mile stretch of the towpath three or four times a week, taking in the changing seasons, the ducks and swans, the narrowboats, dog-walkers and cyclists, to name but a few things of interest.
Over the next couple of years, we hope to walk the full length of the Leeds/Liverpool canal ...all 127 miles of it! It should be fun, interesting and exciting. No doubt we shall be recording our adventures here, so watch this space!!
