Old age travellers to Hebden.

 

Monday 15th.September.

 

Wake up to a rather grey & drizzly day in Tod, although not exactly wet.

 

 It's a fairly short day with 10 locks. The water levels are better and there are a few more boats about, which is nice.

 

The sun comes out as we pass Stubbings Wharf

 

& arrive in the one time hippy town of Hebden Bridge and we walk into town for shopping, a coffee & to check out the restaurants. Item 3 proves disappointing so it's rain-check again.

 

This is a Fustian needle, used in the manufacture of corduroy.

 

I notice that in the park by our mooring there's a skate park, so as Pete tries to outwit some fish, I set out with the camera for some action shots, I always find kids most co-operative if not treated like aliens!
