Question 1. Why the bar on the end of the lock beam? It looks like the support bar in an accessible toilet. Perhaps it's to help less able folk to open the lock gate.
Nope, it's there to stop you from falling down onto the path below.
Q 2. How about this? Maybe a gauge so that only people of the correct height and girth can get through. Nope. I think it's to stop bikes being ridden straight through. The equivalent of speed humps on the road. Anyway, most people just walk round the outside.
Sorry, end of the quiz. We have arrived back at the junction with the Macclesfield canal.
There's even a signpost in case you don't know where to go.
And now we're back at Harecastle tunnel queueing while we wait for boats to come through from the other end.
And, here they come.
5 minutes before we got to the tunnel the heavens opened and we got soaked. We could see the rain storm coming towards us but it was moving so fast that by the time we got out the wet weather gear it was all over.
Stopped for the night at Westport Lake Park and had a good walk round before supper.
