5 miles, 5 swing bridges

We are back in Skipton again and we have just heard from the hire boat company that Bank Newton locks will be closed until further notice from 5pm today.

I rang C&RT to be told that hire boats will be allowed through to ‘return back to base’ by private boats will not! The lock will be inspected on Monday and to phone again then when they have assessed the damage.

The Millins popped round to the boats for early evening drinks, then the six of us had a meal in local Indian restaurant.
