Taking a Leek
With the Froghall end of the Caldon canal closed we took the narrow, twisting, and overgrown Leek branch of the canal. We were rewarded with views of some lovely waterside houses and gardens… … and pretty woodland making navigation difficult. The Leek branch seems to specialize in sharp turns just as you are approaching narrow bridges, so in a couple of cases we did not so much glide through the bridge as clunk through. Sadly the canal no longer goes…
