Messing around on boats

THERE was a chance to mess about on boats at the weekend.

Visitors to the canalside by the Abbey Inn, at Newlay, near Horsforth, Leeds, were able to take part in a range of activities for all the family including boat trips, paper boat making and bath toy boat races.

The All Hands On Deck crew took people for a magical mystery tour along the canal, gave them a chance to captain the boat and also discover what lies beneath the murky surface of the water on the historic Leeds and Liverpool Canal.

They also helped organisers transform two narrow boats with the help of artists.

Visitors to the extravaganza also got the chance to take guided walks showing them what is edible and what is not along the canalside.
