Horseboating Society - Uppermill to Marsden
25th April 2009

As part of return journey from Audenshaw to Huddersfield (unfortunately curtailed at Marsden due to a leaking culvert), I joined the Horseboating Society for the journey from Uppermill to Marsden, including legging Standedge Tunnel. Guest of honour aboard was Ronnie Barnes, the last legger of Standedge in his 90th year, and his wife Shiela.
