Train from Kirkstall Forge, and got in and out under the (new) Apperley bridge. It was warm and there were people swimming in the river – possibly they knew about the sewage outlet as they were wisely upstream of it.
There was a big bank with sand martins coming and going, a nice quiet stretch where I stopped and watched kingfishers flitting up and down the river, and even saw one make a catch next to a strange nice-looking stone outlet, which I haven’t been able to identify on the map.
