Thursday 16th September

Doncaster to Selby

Turned onto the New Junction Canal and then onto the Aire and Calder heading for Knottingley, where we hoped to get lunch at the Steam Packet Inn. This didn't appear to be open and the moorings nearby were not suitable in view of the commercial boats which pass there. So we carried on to the visitor moorings near Ferrybridge lock where we had lunch on board again.

Turned round after lunch and headed for Bank Dole Lock where we got onto the River Aire and thence onto the Selby canal.

Moored for the night in Selby basin. Eventually found some food in the hotel which did not have real ale. After a few other pubs we finished off in the Albion Vaults which was in the 2004 GBG. Little did we know that it wasn't in the 2005 edition.
