Bridges are very important to the canal system.
They are numbered so that you know where you are.
Allan is pictured here in front of Leigh Bridge, which looks very modern and new, but the metalwork is actually dated 1861 so it's quite old.
It actually has a letter, not a number. It is bridge D, and we have to get to
letter O before we even reach bridge number 1. On this walk we were heading for bridge 7D, which at this point seemed a long way off!
Brown's Bridge....No 4
Allan, complete with VIA rail train driver's cap bought in Canada, is contemplating how much further he can walk. We had covered about 8 miles and he was weary!
