Skipton (2)



Here I am Rune
Distance 0 miles
Total 1252 Locks 70 Tunnels
Running total mileage 1766.8 miles 

Spent the day restocking the larder and having a general nose around Skipton. Originally thought about going up the Springs Branch when I saw it on the map, although it would have involved reversing but having now looked at it from the towpath it isn’t such a good idea since it looks to be quite shallow and towards the top end is basically a narrow gorge below the castle. Will stop at the bottom end as we leave Skipton tomorrow since there is a chandlery selling Calor Gas for which we need a refill.

Tomorrow on towards Bingley.
