5+6+7+8 July 2016 It’s been a busy few days with lots of exciting places and things to do and experience. Let’s start by going back to Tuesday the 5th July which saw us go from the uneventful and unexciting location of Rodley on to Saltaire. We got to pass by the largest sewerage works in … More Bunbury Shuffle, Sir Titus, Turning 60, Bingley High Five, Thomas the Tank Engine

Sunday 3rd July 2016 Plans were very straight forward today. We are staying moored up in Leeds and touring around the town. We actually awoke to no rain with a forecast of blue sky with clouds but continuing blustery winds – we are on a real winner here!!! Headed out about 10.30 with M from … More Being Tourists in Leeds

Saturday 2nd July 2016 Woke to a very blustery day. Nb Lucy was really tossing around.

At present there is no rain so that is a blessing. … More Day in York (Old York – Not that new one)

Monday & Tuesday 27 & 28th June 2016 Starting to get a little slack now with the blogs and combining two days into one.

Sunday 26th June 2016 Today was very challenging technically which we have been preparing for and worrying about for quite a while. Getting 60 foot nb Lucy into 57 foot locks was our task.

Saturday 25th June 2016 Today’s task was to prepare the boat for the next 9 locks on the Huddersfield Canal as these locks are short at 57 foot long, yet nb Lucy is 60 foot long. So basically, we are going to try to fit a square peg into a round hole. We know that … More Moored in Huddersfield
