I've just got back from a great week in Yorkshire, leaving poor Tine hard at work at the camp site. I couldn't believe my luck: my visit coincided with an all-too-rare heatwave!
It was great to catch up with friends & family, and on my Bingley day I wandered up the Leeds & Liverpool canal to Five Rise Locks where I saw a horse-drawn longboat going through. I certainly never saw that in all our time in the town!

| Who could fail to be impressed by the staircase of locks? |
 |
| We often used to watch the activity at the locks in the evening or at weekends |
 |
| All towing and braking was done by rope |
 |
| Now heading for Three Rise Locks, so near to where we lived... |
