Hi Everyone
Noreen and I decided as we havent been out this year we act as two tourists along the canal
We took a 90min drive to Skipton a journey that would take 5 days in Buggerlug. As usual Skipton was packed coach loads of them. I have no reason why but its always a good day by boat or car. I know its a very old market town with real Yorkshire charm but it has something unique about it. We walked the market, had fish and chips from busy lizzies ate them sitting by the canal with all the day trippers,
Its Funny to listen to the men explaining to their wives everything about boats, Noreen had to hold me down when the guy sat next to me on the bench was explaining in great detail the workings of a "Barge" he was so far off the mark he could have been sailing the QE2. Why do people consider themselves experts on such complex subjects. It was really good to be on the tow path it give a complete distortion to canal life, and the boats look bigger???
After lunch we took the walk along the tow path to the castle I have done that walk in sun, rain, snow and Ice and always loved it its only a few 100 yards but well worth it. nicer as we were alone no relatives or friends to look after I know my last blog was praising family and friends but sometimes its quite therapeutic to be alone.
Be Good God Bless
