Just got back last night from a trip down to Wakefield, set off from Todmorden Thursday evening, afternoon tea at the Hepworth gallery on Sunday afternoon. The Hepworth doesn't ring everyone's bell but it floats our boat. Some people judge it from internet pics, not the same as real life!
Great weather most of the way. I have a tan.
Muscles also aching, enjoy doing long days and lots of locks, 21 on one day on the way out.
About to leave Brighouse first lock the engine died, water in fuel, better in the lock than on the river, a quick fettle, empty and refill fuel tank and off we went. Also had trouble coming into So'rby Bridge, lock 2, the engine tilt pin snapped, retainer on the end came off, engine kicked up in reverse!! Cable tied the remains in place and borrowed a spare from my mates Honda in So'rby just in case. Metal fatigue caused by stopping several tons of boat with a high thrust prop! Going to order a new one and a spare.
Boat is now in So'rby for a couple of weeks.
Will post pics when back on the Chromebook.

Bassy - do you really have to quote a trillion gigabytes of photos? Just cut it out and leave your own comments.Takes forever to load on a mobile phone.

Lovely photos.
The painting wasn't to my taste though.

It does make sense to have an outboard motor, doesn't it? Dead easy to swap over, old for new. The 20hp Evinrude we had on our boat in Finland was twice as powerful as our narrowboat engine. But then they suck up fuel like a 747 departing Heathrow.

Lovely photos. The painting wasn't to my taste though. Rog I thought that was a Photobucket/Imgur fail notice. Seriously - a painting? Looks like the (piss)artist tripped over his bucket of paint. |

And no but yes there are 4 moons, just can't get the staff. Will edit it later. I still haven't caught up with Kris's thread, it keeps running on ahead of me. Put me out of my suspense, tell me how it ends, have the nasty men got him yet? |

I was amused that on here I can see something clearly that others can't, whilst on the other thread the roles are reversed.

The lights have gone off in the Pentagon as Bassy has sucked so much juice out of the World Wide Web of Conspiracy.
