The very best of luck to you all. At least it seems like you'll have dry weather under canvas.

Good luck, the weather is going to good and the towpath is dry, lucky you!

Take time to stop at Saltaire, Roberts Park will be busy, a lovely place to relax with a drink by the river/canal before the last push to Leeds.

I'll be on the canal Sunday, if you see a black Dawes Discovery 501 with a pannier, say hello.

Forget it, on a Sunday there will be a massive queue, that guy is useless! Go to a shop (2 mins, bridge over the canal), then go back down and relax in the park by the river. It's a bit of hassle 1 mile either side of Saltaire on a Sunday, especially a sunny Sunday, make sure you have a bell!
