Sawley Marina


Today, we returned to Ripon by rail to retrieve our car - which took 4 hours and the car journey back to Sawley Marina took 2.5 hours, whereas it had taken us 2 weeks by boat to do the same distance (but much more exciting!) All the trains were on time, in fact the train from Derby was going too fast and had to wait outside each station for the platform to clear.


At York Station platform 5 showed the arrival of a charter train to Scarborough which turned out to be the Hogwarts Express hauled by a steam engine and full of people with their buckets and spades and champagne glasses.


So, no pics today other than this sign at the end of our jetty - big brother certainly watches everything!.


From tomorrow you may detect a slightly different blog style! Watch this space.
