Training in Sowerby Bridge
Canals, a pool and a functional gym.
Sowerby Bridge is where the Rochdale Canal meets the Calder and Hebble Navigation, and the River Ryburn joins the Calder. Calderdale Council's Sowerby Bridge Swimming Pool and Fitness Centre on Station Road has a 25 m pool, a teaching pool and a gym of about 45 Technogym stations with Wattbikes and free weights. Graft Fitness is a functional fitness gym, Halifax Sport Karate teaches martial arts, and Sowerby Tennis and Bowling Club and several cricket clubs take care of summer sport.
Tuel Lane Lock on the Rochdale Canal is the deepest lock in the UK, and the towpaths head off in two directions from the town: west towards Hebden Bridge and east towards Brighouse. That's plenty of miles for a regular run with someone.
