Barnby Dun was alternately enchanting and disappointing. A delightful village, but one where almost everyone is away. No ringing for the main service, though they were about the mot welcoming congregation I have ever met. Promises for ringing then for … Continue reading

A great couple of days. We spent Saturday going to the market in Skipton, then to the Skipton Castle, nestled at the top of the high street. The castle is privately owned,and was extensively restored from 1956- 1987. A significant … Continue reading

Perfect weather continues. Blue skies, gentle breezes, just magic to be boating. We’ve gone for a hike up into the Yorkshire Dales National Park, just tickling the edge, but what a walk. An old spring well, still running water, a … Continue reading

Fast crew change. Daniel and Nikki have gone on to their adventures and Ruth and Roy Hewitt arrived (late but safely). We did a baby cruise through Burnley to The Wharf pub, where we enjoyed traditional pub meals (hunter chicken, … Continue reading
