The Straight Mile

A lovely and very warm afternoon.
This is a narrowboat entering the 'Straight Mile' at Finsley Gate Wharf, Burnley.
Generally regarded as one of the 'Seven Wonders of the British Canal system' -'The Straight Mile' is an the impressive embankment that carries the Leeds/Liverpool Canal 60 feet above the town of Burnley.
An ideal journey on a day like today.
