A narrowboat is approaching very slowly from the narrow cutting in the sandstone where, apart from a couple of short passing places, the canal is much less than the width of two boats. It is gloomy and green in the cutting, but hardly warranting use of the headlight - or was he just making sure we knew he was coming? The traffic cone is not a fixed feature, but adds colour, and the photographer adds interest to the picture too - secret Geograph hunter maybe - I await his picture :-) Sequence: passage north through the narrows, #1.
