Walking the Leeds and Liverpool Canal from Wigan to Leeds

During August 2019, I walked the Leeds and Liverpool Canal from Wigan to Leeds. This means that I've now done all the three trans-pennine routes as I did the Rochdale Canal in July and the Huddersfield Canals last year.

The "map" below shows where I walked. Each day I travelled by public transport from a hotel to where I finished walking the previous day. Each x on the map shows the places where I stopped/started each day's walking. Here is a table of the abbreviations that are not obvious:

WP	Wigan Pier	Hu	Huncoat
HC	Heath Charnock	Ba	Barnoldswick
HW	Higher Wheelton	Ki	Kildwick
MH	Mill Hill	Sh	Shipley
Ri	Rishton	Ro	Rodley

To help me walk along these canals, I looked at the Pearson's Canal Companion for the "Leeds & Liverpool" as this has lots of details about the canals in this area. The numbers on the map below refer to the map numbers in the Pearson's Guide.
