Apperley Bridge to Leeds via the Aire & Calder |
||||||
This cruise takes us down through Leeds off the end of the Leeds and Liverpool canal onto the Aire And Calder navigation. Passing through lovely scenery we have some surprisingly isolated spots as we go through the Newlay set of locks and some small staircases locks where one lock leads into another. Dropping off the end of Leeds and Liverpool canal we join the Aire and Calder navigation, quite a shock to move from the canal onto the wide river navigation. Passing through the centre of Leeds we go through the large automated river locks down to Castleford with our turning point determined by our timings as we have to give way to the commercial traffic. We then head back to finish at Clarence Dock in the centre of Leeds home to the interesting Armouries museum. |
