Leeds Liverpool canal ride

This is the first 'proper' ride trying out the bike with panniers etc. A few of us are going off for the weekend and stopping overnight in a pub. As well as me and my partner Doreen, there's another couple John and Julie coming with us. They will also be meeting me in Germany and doing a section of the route with me. The other two coming this weekend are Steph and Shelagh. We've had a couple of trips together, but unfortunately they cant make it this year to meet me en-route.
