Knottingley



Here I am Rune
Distance 10.7 miles
Total 2781 Locks  130 Tunnels
Running total mileage 3814 miles 

Another fair day’s cruising brings us to Bank Dole lock on the outskirts of Knottingley. Generally a fairly quiet day’s travel, with not a lot of other boats on the move up here. The weather was a bit changeable with sunshine and heavy showers but we managed to see them during stops (lunch) so didn’t get too wet. The one constant during the day however was the wind which was causing us to ‘crab’ along the canal, constantly pointing towards the left hand bank but still going straight ahead.

Tomorrow the plan will be to get to Selby hoping to travel up to Naburn on the Wednesday tide.
