1 May
Woke this morning to frost, what a beautiful morning. Too cold so lit the central heating and went back to bed - ho hum hard life for some.
Frozen flag
Spent most of the day cruising the River Aire which started by going through Knottingley
Flour Mill
Alot of the river to Castleford was through Fairburn Ings and Newton Ings - (Ings must mean Natural Reserve). We also spent alot of the day looking for diesel and pumpouts - still to be found.
I have certainly got the hang of these big locks - very pleased that they are automated I would hate to be pushing these gates.
We got to Lemonroyd Lock around 3ish and caught up with our Steve and Paul (cousins) After discussions we decided to move on to Woodlesford which is where my dad was born. Tied up for the night and off for dinner to the carvery with them, was very cheap and good - only in Yorkshire. Had a good catch up, so reliable I forgot to take photos again.
TOTAL - 21 miles and 4 locks and 2 flood locks that are open
