However, today on the Aire and Calder we shared a lock with 6 other boats, really busy for us.

It was also a first for me when we got hit by a mini twister! All moored up for lunch and I was standing on the back deck , a sudden roar, water spraying everywhere, chairs flying around, me and the boat being buffeted about, then all over. It was gone as quick as it arrived, but a bit of a surprise. No damage to people or boat so all’s well, but a bit of a surprise.

On the Aire and Calder

Starting with River improvements in 1704 and ending with the new junction canal in 1905 the Aire and Calder has a long history. In addition to being responsible for the creation of Goole it allowed improved links to York and Leeds.

It’s a lovely broad canal with huge automatic locks and lovely places to stop.

But it does make a great picture, still can’t resist a sunset!
