Here I am Rune

Total 2795 Locks 130
Tunnels
Running total mileage 3881.7 miles
Only 2 ½ hours of travelling today to get us from
Boroughbridge to Linton Lock which is about halfway to York. We set off quite,
not until after lunch, since we needed to get the weekend shop done and, whilst
at Boroughbridge, take the opportunity to visit the Roman Town at Aldborough,
which is the nest village along. There is quite of excavation still to be done
on the site but there are a couple of well-preserved mosaics on display along
with a lot of Roman artefacts found on the site.
The trip back down the Rivers Ure and Ouse (actually both
the same river!) was quicker than the trip up against the current. We were
averaging about 4.4miles per hour with the current as opposed to 3.4 mph when
going against it.
After the overnight stop here we hope to find a mooring in
York tomorrow with a view to staying until Tuesday or Wednesday before going
back for the trials of the tidal Ouse back to Selby.
