Skipton almost to Silsden



We hadn' t realised until this morning that we had moored alongside the old Dewhurst Mill that used to produce Silko thread until 2003, but is now luxury flats with a German secure stacking system for residents cars.



We spent the morning in Skipton and the town has left a us with a good feeling - an attractive town with quality retail outlets and clean and tidy too!



We have been through several swing bridges this afternoon, one in particular was so stubborn it necessitated a damsel to run down the road and help Bob open it!



Our mooring this evening is looking down the valley, with Silsden in the foreground.



We are ready for Bingley and Saltaire tomorrow.
