Leeds and Liverpool is a classic example of the vicious circle......boaters think there are 'problem areas' so stay away, which leaves the opportunity for problem areas to develop.
Pity because the scenery is superb.
Mind you, we're also enjoying being 'masters of all we survey' up here.

On the plus side pick of the moorings rather than hung on the end

There's a nice little landing below The Anchor Inn, Salterforth.

Well, this morning we awaken in Riddleson (den?) - (Keighley)... and without blowing smoke up Patty's harris, she's really lovely to have on board... OK, she's not made a cup of tea yet but that seems to be the trend... It's rumoured she's used the shower - plan b HAD been to strap her to the front of the boat as we went up Bingely to get the worst of it off it wasn't necessary though. Today we're heading on to Skipton (only 18 swing bridges ahead of us ) - it's ok - she's stronger than she looks and we'll pause on route at Snaygil boats for a pump out and some diesel..... NO idea what they charge but as they were the first place we hired from, want to go back and give them a bit of business.

Patty you'll get muscles on your spit working the manual swing bridges. Noreen hates them! Also hates the electrick ones, cos the drivers point at her and mutter, blaming her for the delay. I have a scoring system, 1 point for pedestrians, 5 for a car, 20 for a white van, 50 for anybody that does a u turn and screeches off in a huff.

We do the same, but you missed cyclists who charge at it trying to get through, but fail or end up in the canal!!

Having a fab time....small 'leak' in wardrobe that may have been a dumped rutsack bag or may have been a issue totally unrelated to having me on board...I like to think its the latter...suggestions for me to look at pooh tank under the bed declined and left to 'him in charge'...... Most of my day spent tucked up in blankets on back deck whilst two men ably managed without my input...I did wander off to have a go at a few swing bridges... ATM...I'm by the cosy log burner and those who can cook are doing.... Pics will be posted soon.... In Skipton.... Oh saw a wild mink..my first and a heron plus lots 'fluffy bunnies' I was supposed to stir the lemon drizzle cake but... sigh....
