Bank Newton Top Lock to Gargrave
A leisurely start to the day due to the lock restrictions and so we set off at 10 am. Shared the locks at Bank Newton and Gargrave with a hire boat from Burnley with a very nervous crew.
Stopped at lunchtime as it was getting far too hot to go through the rest of the locks, and then it rained all afternoon, another excuse for not going any further!!
British Waterways have a funny way of writing around here as the "Cill" warning on the lock in the picture proves.
We are still trying to organise somewhere to leave the boat at the end of this phase of our journey.
It is good to be back in Yorkshire again, even the weather forecaster on the BBC talked about sending the rain clouds across the border to Lancashire.
Totals for the day - 1.5 miles and 9 locks!!
