So how hard can this be??? Well today we found out. No problem with the paddling but oh those b......... locks. 15 today plus having to limbo under numerous swing bridges. The Rufford Branch of the Leeds Liverpool Canal had been officially renamed The Rufford Obstacle Course.  It was all very tiring getting in and out of  the bosts. Still we have now finished the Leeds Liverpool and have made it to Leigh on the Bridgewater Canal. Ian has a huge pan of spag bol on the go and we have all  had hot showers so we will feel more human soon.  Only 2 kingfishers today.Tomorrow we go through the centre of Manchester (18 locks!!!).
