Canal walk : Hebden Bridge to Sowerby Bridge 2009

Another Autumn walk. This time on the canal towpath, from Hebden Bridge to Sowerby Bridge.

The boats look twice as deep with their reflections.

Bacon, eggs, and what else, did you say?
It was 2-0 to the leghorns, when the ball was lost
An early morning angler tries his luck

A canal cruiser passes through Brearley

An idyllic spot, overlooking the canal & river, at Brearley Springs

The River Calder and the Rochdale Canal are hand-in-hand pretty much all along this stretch

Washed it last night & can't do a thing with it!

A cosy suntrap!

A heavy dew is still clearly visible on the picturesque bowling green, at Luddenden Foot

This section of the Rochdale canal, is particularly serene, and is popular with walkers of all ages

The famous Puzzle Hall Inn. Home to good music, good food, good crack & obviously good beer.

Former home to Platts brewery. The tower stands forlornly, at the back of the pub, no longer in use.

Now, is it to be the Navigation or the Shepherd's Rest?
