I can't recall whether I'm mentioned on here, but in the last couple of weeks Andy's had two family bereavements - the latter of which happening last week when his parents were with us on the boat (both his mum's brother and sister died)...
He's had to go down to Wolverhampton to help them with it all... they're struggling..
Which means that on Friday when our next guests arrive in Wakefield to Tackle the Calder & Hebble to Brighouse and THEN up the Rochdale as far as Littleborough I'm gonna be single handing - NOT knowing how "capable" said guests will be to help.
I think I've managed to get a friend to come stay Friday through Sunday (which should get us to Sowerby Bridge (I hope if the river allows) but after that, I am really going to struggle.
If anyone has some free time and would be able to offer help through any sections ahead, I'd be SO grateful...
I have a nasty feeling it may be a couple of weeks until he returns so I'm going to have to try and find help wherever I can get it.
These are my immediate problem areas
02/08/2019 09/08/2019 7 nights Wakefield Littleborough
13/08/2019 20/08/2019 7 nights Littleborough Shawhall
24/08/2019 31/08/2019 7 nights Shawhall Huddersfield
If anyone has any bright ideas of practical help, please give me a call. 07966 277631
Thanks muchly
Ginge

Sounds like fun for someone (else). Would they need to have a shower every 4 hours? If so I think that should be made clear in your appeal.

Definitely not for me then. 4 days might be possible with some negotiations but 4 weeks usually preferable. After about 12 days its not really noticeable due to natural body odour taking over. However naughtyfox and witchy might disagree with this thesis

Sorry to make light of it. I just find the shower thing quite funny. Everyone is different.
I would love to help but I'm too far away. Hopefully you can get something sorted out.
Good luck with it and I hope the weather is kind to you as well.

Does the lucky volunteer get to share sleeping accommodation with Daffodil Dick?

I'd like to help as you get up this way, got a few commitments, will keep track of you and see. It's not so bad single handing, often do it up and down that run if Noreen isn't on form. There's certainly no shortage of water. Hollingworth lake has topped up, maybe 3m, presumably the canal feeders up on the hills will have done so too.
