Riley Green



Here I am Rune
Distance 3 miles
Total 1204 Locks 68 Tunnels
Running total mileage 1720.2 miles

We did indeed go for the shorter option today, particularly since it was raining at first, so we have just come as far as Riley Green Bridge, actually about 3 miles. Since we don’t really want to moor up in the middles of Blackburn unless really necessary it means we will have to push on a bit tomorrow to get to Rishton Bridge, given that we also have 6 locks in Blackburn to do as well.

Today’s section of canal was OK although a bit shallow in places, to the degree that I have to slow the engine down a few revs since we were dragging the bottom. The mooring here at Riley Green however is alright for depth.
