Slaithwaite HNC

That looks sadly neglected in Slaithwaite. How was it to steer through there Peter? 
 

Interesting how in contrast it’s mown round the tunnel portal. The trouble comes that more invasive plants take over with roots that start to penetrate the edge of the canal. It’s not much of a showcase like that. 
 

Bring back this activity, HNC 2nd July 2021. They strimmed many miles just on that day.
