Album 4
49 photos in this set
Here you’ll find us emerging from the Standedge Tunnel and descending the Huddersfield Narrow Canal to Portland Basin (Ashton-under-Lyne) where we turned left for the Lower & Upper Peak Forest Canal. We had the dry dock at Furness Vale booked 21-25 July for a hull survey, welding on of new anodes, and blacking of our boat. It was the first time we had seen below the waterline, and it was not as awful as we had prepared ourselves for. Before entering the dock we had a few days to spare, and used the car to visit Chatsworth House in Derbyshire, spend a night on peterboat’s luxury widebeam in Rotherham, and have a few hours in York. We’re still at Chatsworth at the end of this lot. More tomorrow, of course!
On clicking the link and seeing all the photos appear at once, I would urge you to click on the first photo to enlarge it, and click the little i (information) sign top right for the text I have added to appear.Then you may click the forwards arrow to continue to the next photo, or use your keyboard arrow buttons.
(Edit March 2018 - link to photos now gone, as they have been deleted from my Google Photos account. Try 'Witchy & Foxy Up North' (2017) for the next batch.)

If you press the i symbol top right the text appears, it's really very simple. Am I missing something?
-in fact, just looked myself - it seems to be set so the text comes anyway - clicking the i sign removes the text in this case.

Yeah, but did u read the text? Thank you for the pics and the text. The problem with the text, I have found, is that if it runs longer than the page we can't read the rest of it. The missus wants to know what happened to the frog! Eta. Am using a Samsung tab e. Ps might bump into you over the winter on the Llangollen.

A frog was finishing up its doctoral dissertation and had just stepped out from under its mud bank to get a breath of fresh air when it was surprised by a water snake. "Any last requests before I eat you?" said the snake.
"Well, would you let me finish my dissertation first?" asked the frog.
"That's the silliest thing I've ever heard! What's your dissertation on, anyway?"
"Well, the title of the dissertation is 'The Superiority of Frogs to Snakes and Herons.'"
"I'd like to see that just for the sheer stupidity of the thesis!" said the snake. So he took the frog, went under the mud bank, and never came out again.
A week or so later, the frog came out from under the bank to get another breath of fresh air, but this time it was snatched by a heron. "Any last requests before I eat you?" said the heron.
"Well, would you let me finish my dissertation first?" asked the frog.
"What's it on?"
"Well, the title of the dissertation is 'The Superiority of Frogs to Snakes and Herons.'"
"That's the stupidest thing I've ever heard! I want to read it first -- they say laughter aids digestion." So the heron took the frog under the bank and never came out again.
A week or so later, the frog came out from under the bank and yelled, "EUREKA! I'm finished!"
So one of his fellow frogs came over and asked, "So, what's the dissertation on?"
"Well, the title of the dissertation is 'The Superiority of Frogs to Snakes and Herons.'"
"That sounds pretty tough to prove! Could I look at it?"
When they went into the frog's bank, they saw a word processor, a number of empty pop cans and food wrappers strewn about the room, a scattering of books lying here and there, a pile of heron bones, a pile of snake bones, a finished dissertation, and an alligator.
The moral of the story: It's not the title of your dissertation, but who your director is.
