Here I am Rune
Distance 1.6 miles
Total 2699 Locks 127
Tunnels
Running total mileage 3707.6 miles
After yesterday’s day off we’ve completed the final section
to get to Standedge Tunnel today, fairly easy run from Uppermill to Standedge
in about 2 ¾ hours. So we are now prepared for the big day tomorrow to get
through Standedge Tunnel itself. It is a bit daunting since it is twice the
length of Harecastle Tunnel and the information board at the entrance gives a
passage time of 2 hours.
Tomorrow morning we’ll need to prepare the boat for the
tunnel which involves removing the cratch cover (it’s bound to be raining!) and
taking everything out of the top boxes and storing it all (including the boxes)
inside the boat.
