The tanker narrowboat is well and truly stuck at Bridge 86 on the Huddersfield Narrow Canal due to a combination of rubbish in the cut and low water levels. Use of block and tackle and the application of a number of passing walkers to pull on the rope soon had things moving again.

A trip up the Huddersfield Narrow Canal ended at Uppermill where the lock proved too narrow for the boat to exit. Having backed down to Greenfield the lift bridge at the entrance to the marina had to be lifted to allow us to wind (turn) the boat and head back towards Manchester.
