Having walked up it umpteen times, we decided given how shallow it is, dragging the boat's bum up there to turn around wasn't worth the effort. The ducks are probably used to curry in that area anyway ;-) <br /><br />Quaysiderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04372015225898397642noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5946325688134943823.post-61226480843332669852017-04-18T08:32:37.753+01:002017-04-18T08:32:37.753+01:00yes, you're right, Ageism is stupid.

It was part of my 2015/16 project to walk the navigation from Sowerby Bridge to Castleford and then left up to Leeds etc. Each walk would only be 5 to 8 miles and I just enjoyed it all at my own slow pace, admiring the boats and bridges and views. I once did it on a hired narrowboat but that was in 1985 and not much remains in the memory bank. Except this: The day we went up the Dewsbury Arm I cooked the crew a curry that was far too hot and some of it went into the canal for the ducks.heatherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06383070870196038845noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5946325688134943823.post-65962163699611548312017-04-17T18:30:20.537+01:002017-04-17T18:30:20.537+01:00Please do not use 4 letter words in your blog........Please do not use 4 letter words in your blog....."work" indeed !Alfhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02057998230901475972noreply@blogger.com
