Canals are wonderful engineering constructions and I like the fact there are two seats by this lock so it is possible to take your ease while watching all the action.Joyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00253875352864018195noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36028654.post-4938684781970723762009-10-07T15:07:15.619+01:002009-10-07T15:07:15.619+01:00Gerald, I was reading an old copy of Harrier News ...Gerald, I was reading an old copy of Harrier News this morning and stumbled across a race result that might interest you and perhaps some of your Ackworth visitors - <br />Ackworth Half Marathon 16Mar2008<br />1st. D Bannister (Shaftesbury Harriers) 66m24s (667 finishers)<br />Is he, as one might suspect, any relation to arguably the world's most famous runner Roger Bannister the first man to run under 4 mins for the mile? That's almost putting Ackworth on the world map. You'll be wanting now to go back East :)<br />All the best,<br />GwilymGwil Whttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03305768121713053837noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36028654.post-20995631290721354522009-10-07T11:54:13.380+01:002009-10-07T11:54:13.380+01:00very informative. thxvery informative. thxRoger Owen Greenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05298172138307632062noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36028654.post-521231834184044542009-10-07T10:40:19.307+01:002009-10-07T10:40:19.307+01:00It's always extraordinary to me that canals mi...It's always extraordinary to me that canals might run through cities - there surely couldn't be a greater contrast between the quiet, ordered life of a canal boat and the busy metropolis.jabbloghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12176958811589489979noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36028654.post-33597127987982397622009-10-07T06:57:53.359+01:002009-10-07T06:57:53.359+01:00fascinatingfascinatingmagiceyehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17848851692951192508noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36028654.post-70391999715019753992009-10-07T04:47:19.525+01:002009-10-07T04:47:19.525+01:00Great photos and text.
