Stainforth



Here I am Rune
Distance 3.1 miles
Total 1340 Locks 70 Tunnels
Running total mileage 1898.3 miles
Another gentle day’s cruising to bring us as far as Stainforth, the reason for this was that we noted that the Visitor Mooring in Thorne was only 24 hour and if we’d gone there today we’d have had to stay for 48 hours. Once again the wind has been a bit of a nuisance today although it was, fortunately, coming from behind. It’s OK when travelling along but becomes more of an issue when it is necessary to stop for locks or swing bridges. At the Bramwith Swing Bridge I decided to use a moored CRT workboat as the lock landing since the actual lock mooring itself was in a corner that was very much a lee shore and getting back off it would have been interesting to say the least.

Tomorrow we should be into Thorne.
