Was it such a short trip from Sowerby ? Surely not.....

Total Mileage 324 miles 250 locks (Inc flood locks) & lots of swing/lift bridges !A All accomplished In 17 Days (I believe that this may be the final crazy mission ! - Although shorter & less locks than we have done in the same time it's gotta be the hardest !)
