Route: Home to Blackburn (and back)
Distance: 29 Miles
Time: 2h:55Mins

At the time, this was my furthest trip up the canal. I'd always turned around just before Blackburn, but this time I decided to see what was there. I came across a bunch of kids fishing on the canal at Feniscowles who stopped me to show me the size of the "gold fish" they were trying to catch. I thought they'd got mixed up with their types of fish at first, but there was actually a huge Koi carp in the canal!


I came across a cyclist in Blackburn that was actually slower than me!


I decided to turn around and head home when I got to bridge 100...


but made the most of the nice weather at Johnson's Hillock locks.
