Delays to trains don’t overshadow good news.
A ghostly light is shining tonight.
The last Tuesday in October is both grey and colourful.
Different kinds of dark and blackness seem to be cropping up as we approach the end of summer time.
We come back to the same spot after gaining a lot of height.
We return to Marple after nearly three years. The going was very slow but we see some super furry animals.
There is a slight delay on the flight, but nothing we can’t rise above.
We have a lock free day today with warm sun, apart from going under all those arches.
Careful how you go, now and then.
The Huddersfield Narrow Canal continues to spring surprises right to the end.
Autumn leaves are above below and along the boat today.
The locks and the leaves are coming down.
We’ll have to keep going down to get the batteries up.
We scramble to the Standedge Tunnel, longest open canal tunnel in the world and have a few rocky times.
After a rude awakening, we have a good journey, but it can only be downhill after this.
We find things to do during an enforced stop.
The temperature drops and we have a cool time in Marsden.
We do like to see animals on our travels, though some are more pleasant to encounter than others.
If you don’t like locks, you don’t like narrowboating, and you really won’t like the Huddersfield Narrow Canal.
There are abrupt changes in the Huddersfield canal.
Locks in strange places seems to be a feature on this canal.
We navigate a short canal with more than its share of surprises.
The approach to Huddersfield is hard work and at times discouraging.
We continue to keep up to our schedule, and avoid the worst of the weather.
After more than three years aboard we come across mechanisms unlike any we’ve seen before.
The sun is doing a great job of lighting up our lives, though there are signs of autumn all around.
We travel in the sunshine towards uncertainty.
Avoiding being caught in a flood can be as easy as doing nothing.
Crossing the border to Berwick-upon-Tweed, a town that has swapped between Scotland and England many times, like us.
