	Today, it's Boxing Day and there are few buses running. So I won't be walking the KW today. Instead I'll walk along the Huddersfield Broad Canal and the Huddersfield Narrow Canal to go to the Sair Inn in Linthwaite. Then I'll catch the bus back. I also did this walk in July/August 2018. I'm starting at the bridge where Hill House Lane crosses the Huddersfield Broad Canal. The coat of arms on the left hand side are those of Huddersfield.
