PHOTOGRAPHIC COMPETITION 2010
Here is the winning entry, plus two runners-up. Enter the 2011 competition - and maybe win £50! Can you do us a front cover for the brochure?
Thanks very much to all our entrants, for some smashing shots and some enterprising voyages. See 2009 results.
The winner is - Mr Roesen from Belgium
Opening a canal lock Locks 20W and 33E, and the Diggle portal of Standedge Tunnel, Huddersfield Narrow Canal
The Roesens made the most of their one way trip across the Huddersfield Narrow. They had a great family reunion, and Mr Roesen's outstanding eye for people they met along the way, plus some cracking scenery shots, made his portfolio the winner.		 Lock 33E, Huddersfield Narrow Canal
Diggle Lock
Joint runner-up: Patrick Linton
assembled this astonishing panorama from three shots. You can see it as the front and back cover of this year's brochure.
Thorlby
Joint runners-up: Ken Aylmer and Jan Hine
long-standing customers, gave us a splendid travelogue of their epic voyage to Sheffield
Sheffield basin
This basin has some amazing buildings, beautifully restored. Once a dead end, these moorings are now well used, perhaps because there's a John Lewis just up the road.		 Straddle Warehouse, Sheffield
Andrew Batram
and his family went across the Rochdale summit, and also to Brighouse.
Punchbowl Lock, Rochdale Canal
On their way back from Littleborough, the Batrams on Leicester meet Somerset going down.		 Punchbowl Lock, Rochdale Canal
The Brittins
took their dogs
Tuel Tunnel Lock, Rochdale Canal
The deepest canal lock in the country, seen just as we say goodbye having escorted the party up the first three locks of their journey.		 Tuel Tunnel Lock
River Star
Acaster's Water transport barge on its way to pick up aggregate. There's a big aggregate traffic, and you can see that each barge takes many wagons off the roads.		 Acaster barge
John, Joyce and Willem Hodgson
took Lincoln down the Calder & Hebble
Broad Cut, Calder & Hebble Navigation
The Hodgsons sent us several pictures of quiet moorings they found.		 Broad Cut
The Jenkins family
went up to Hebden Bridge and beyond.
Rawdon Mill Lock, Rochdale Canal
The narrow channel, cut into the rock, runs just beside the infant Calder.		 Rawdon Mill Lock, Rochdale Canal
