272. The deepest, highest, longest canal tunnel in Britain

Opened originally in 1811, the Standedge (pronounced &quot;Stannedge&quot;, apparently) canal tunnel is a legendary boating experience at 5km (3.5m) long and hundreds of feet underground. I was lucky enough to join narrowboaters on a Pennine Cruise organised by the Huddersfield Canal Society as they went through this amazing tunnel. <br> <br>Huddersfield Canal Society: https://huddersfieldcanal.com <br>Standedge Tunnel CRT website: https://canalrivertrust.org.uk..../places-to-visit/sta <br>Info about legging: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Legging_(canals) <br>Info about the tunnels: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Standedge_Tunnels <br>Info about the canals generally: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/....History_of_the_Briti <br> <br>Start point (Diggle): https://goo.gl/maps/nkwgyvQua2c5a9HCA <br>End point (Marsden): https://g.page/Standedge <br> <br>Support: <br>Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/CruisingTheCut <br>One-off donation: https://paypal.me/CruisingTheCut (please choose &quot;Personal&quot; rather than &quot;Purchase&quot; else PayPal charge a transaction fee!) <br>Merch: https://fanfiber.com/CruisingTheCut <br> <br>Info <br>Q&amp;A: https://www.CruisingTheCut.co.uk/f-a-q/ <br>Filming Gear: https://www.CruisingTheCut.co.uk/gear/ <br> <br>Contact Me <br>Twitter: http://www.twitter.com/CruisingTheCut <br>Instagram: http://www.instagram.com/CruisingTheCut <br>Facebook: http://www.facebook.com/CruisingTheCut <br>Web: http://www.CruisingTheCut.co.uk <br> <br>Theme music: &quot;Vespers&quot; by Topher Mohr and Alex Alena, from the YouTube music library <br> <br>#narrowboat #canal #cruisingthecut #rivers #offgrid #liveaboard
