Kings Road Bridge
Aire & Calder Navigation Canal
(bottom of) Foxholes Lane
Altofts

The dark rectangle in the distance is a truck on the M62, travelling west (between jcts 31 & 30)

Hidden from view, but approximately where the red barge is, there's a filled in/'stopped' lock that allowed cross-traffic with the River Calder
It's a heck of a difference, maybe 25 feet, at normal water levels!

The M62 bridge, can be seen in the background
This is where the truck came off, a few months ago

The Lock into the River, can be seen on this 1905 OS; https://maps.nls.uk/geo/explore/#zoom=17&lat=53.71685&lon=-1.43361&layers=168&b=1

The approach to it, & most of the way through NewLands Woods was fine, with just a few greasy sections, on the approach from 'Stanley Ferry'
The Stables are to my left, just after the precariously leaning tree
630416

And as for the exit from the Woods.........................
A lot of farm traffic has chewed it up, & there's a bit of 'run-off..............
I rode through just where a tyre-track is descernible, by the drinks can

Yes!, my feet stayed dry:okay:

We're going away for an over-night stay 'next weekend'
Suggestions included; Leicester, Whitby, Morecambe

I'll still feel like I'm performing missionary work, as we're heading over the frontier, into the Lancastrian wastelands
It was via a nicely circuitous route:okay:
Apologies, there's not as many photographs as I wanted, because location/weather/time didn't really allow for them

KirkGate
Otley

I’d have thought it’s a reasonably wealthy town, so could afford more?

It's not far from the pelican crossing, & on the right, as we look at the photograph; https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/6660540
