The swing bridge in front of us was the first of 11 today. We woke to much cooler weather which was great for doing locks but such a shock after the boiling temperatures of the last few days.
We passed an enormous water treatment ( sewage) works so were glad that the temperature had dropped!
We had two staircases today. One of 2 locks and one of 3. Luckily there was another boat going up the 2 so we could go together but then we stopped for water so we had to do the 3 on our own. The photo shows the view from the bottom looking up.
Workmen were out in force today repairing the towpath. It looked as if they were making a wooden frame which I presume they will fill with concrete.
We were pleased to see how far we had come from Leeds.
But not impressed when we read how much further we need to go!
Now moored at Shipley / Saltaire and will spend tomorrow visiting the latter which was set up by Mill owner Titus Salt to house and educate his mill workers and their children.
