Visit to Foulridge tunnel on the Leeds and Liverpool canal. Sun 30 July 2006

 

A nice sunny day greeted us at Foulridge and we all set of for a wonderful trip through the tunnel and on to the next lock.


Our transport is ready.


The boat is equipped with most Mod-Cons.

One of the highlights of the return trip was a wonderful plate (or plates, in my case) of pie and peas.
Searchlights on the barge helped to illuminate the tunnel interior.


A light at the end of the tunnel.
