LEGGING

Legging

Legging is a method of moving a boat through a canal tunnel or adit containing water. Early canal tunnels were built without a towpath as this would require a much larger bore, and hence cost more to build. Prior to the introduction of motorised boats, legging was one of the few options for getting a boat through such a tunnel.
