Boat Lane
Lower Mickletown
Methley

This was the route to the 'foot-ferry' across the River Aire, to Allerton Bywater
Correspondingly, there is also a Boat Lane, at that side of the river
Plus 'The Boat' pub

The footpath to the river banking is temporarily closed, due to flooding (& pumping)

With regard to the above, I hope to get to;
An African country
A country on the North Sea coast
A city in Russia
The furthest place you can go/the apocalypse
A road that tells fibs about its length
A waterfall

Oh, & hopefully also a lovely curving railway viaduct, that's now a footpath/bridleway/cycle-route

That's where I have plans to take her.............
