From lethal tinsel to giant Hogs.
Well we have done it, we are through and out past Blackburn. The trip through Burnley was dire to say the least, I soon became re-acquainted with the weed hatch removing bunches of plastic bags after bunches of plastic bags after bunches of plastic bags.
Nothing has been done to improve the state of the place since we passed through last year and to be honest if BW don't do something soon you will not be able to get through at all.
Clayton-Le-Moors, sound nice doesn't it? what an awful place that was and along with the surrounding area it was just a case of praying nothing went wrong and keep moving.
Blackburn on the other hand seems to have had a bit of a make over, there is still some rubbish but nowhere near the quantities of last year and we only ran aground on something in mid channel once. This is the LG building shining in the early morning sun.
Bill Bryson, who really likes the way things are named over here would just love this one.
This is "Sour Milk Bridge"
The locks will only be open for four hours a day due to the water shortage.
By Order of....... The Management.
A phrase including the words organise and brewery springs to mind.
The state of this lock is bordering, if not already, dangerous.
Don't touch the hand rail or you might end up in the canal, but don't worry we have lots of red tape to save you.
Gate opening robots, whatever next?
This razor sharp lethal stuff looks like someone draped the wall with tinsel.
Here's something that might not kill you but will make you very very ill just by touching it's leaves. This is the Giant Hog Weed in all it's glory.
Brush up against this monster and you will be in the hospital in a darkened room before you know it.
Cheerful or what?

Until next time.........................
