Scenes of Saddleworth

We have had two good sunny days, making the views absolutely spectacular. Tonight we are at the bottom of lock 24.  We have to wait here to go up the next 8 locks and through the Standedge Tunnel tomorrow. We walked up to the tunnel entrance this afternoon to take a look around. It didn't disappoint.
Here are some of the views we have been enjoying..

Looking out over Uppermill

 
Lime Kiln Lock no.23 through the Saddleworth viaduct.
 
Tacet coming through.

In Lime Kiln lock, another type of ground paddle in the foreground.

The locks on the way to the tunnel, the hills in view.

An ice cream stop.
