This morning at about 10:30 the C&RT guys said “Ok, you can go”. So with Craig and Joan, who had also been waiting in their boat, we set off up the locks. We thanked and said goodbye to Darren and Richard and worked up the flight and away.

Craig and Joan left us at Barnoldswick. We arrived at the tunnel just in time for the 3 o’clock entry.

Now over the summit it was down Barrowford locks with lots of gongozlers looking on. At tne bottom of the locks we noticed a quiet mooring on the offside, so we pulled in there a about 5 o’clock.
