In search of the brass band.

Wednesday 17th.September.

Another bright day. It's beginning to feel familiar around here even though it's been nearly 9 years since we boated here.

 

At the Halifax arm we stop for water in Salterhebble Basin where we dog-leg through 3 locks, the lower one having an electric guillotine gate.

 

Through Elland next, then we attempt to stop for lunch at the Colliers Arms but sadly it seems to have closed down. So we take advantage of their benches & the sunshine & eat our own sarnies!

 

By 2:30  we arrive in Brighouse Basin. It's market day so we have a wander around although, in common with most small towns, the stalls are dwindling.

Back at the mooring I annoy some kids who are chillin' after school & chat to some of the residential boaters.
