79 Saturday 7 August 2021 Hapton to Burnley
The weather wasn't promising at all for a walk in Calderdale so we decided to head for the canal. I messaged my friend Jo who said it wasn't raining in Burnley which gave me encouragement because it was bucketing down in Bolton when we set off. It did get better as we crossed into Lancashire and it was quite pleasant when we arrived in Hapton. By that point I knew I'd left my rucksack at home but we did have provisions.
We had a look at the board about Hapton.
There was a row of barges just beyond the first bridge.
The surroundings became more urban as we passed through Rose Grove.
These bridges indicated we were at the outskirts of Burnley. Simon was happy.
A barge soon went past us.
The rain was getting heavier so we waited under the bridge for a while.
Shortly after that we were confronted by Gannow Tunnel which meant we had to find our way through Burnley to the opposite entrance.
This wasn't easy and we must have asked about half a dozen people before we got to the right route. It passed this piece of street art.
Finally we got there.
