The horror, the horror!

Rat, how far above the Do Long Bridge (Bridge 36 Railway) did you go; or is that classified?

Excellent trip and write up! I like your Pack. I have a Discovery 146k that I paddle on flat a some slow moving waters. I enjoyed your trip write up and pictures.

Thanks Gordy
The Pack is fantastic for this sort of investigative paddling: There was a whole lot of portaging going on....

Nice one Chis. Let me know if you fancy another go at it anytime. Note sure I'd want a tarp-boat or an inflatable on some of the stony riffles though :D

If you get up by me in leeds mate there is some cracking paddling to be had.
Looked at the canal from Woodlesford lock right up into Leeds and past the Armories.
