Cononley to Barnoldswick
Set off at 7.35. Stopped at Snaygill boats to fill with diesel. Only managed to get in 77l. Also exchanged the empty gas bottle.
No sign of Leah in Skipton, but on the way out a man on the towpath said he had designed a 37ft tug on which Jacob and Leah are based. The engine that came out of Leah is at Pennine Cruisers, and Leah is now at Sawley. The 37ft tug, Gill Thorne, has been extended since then.
Had lunch while waiting for a lock near Gargrave in order to be sure of getting through all the locks by 6pm, as all the locks between Skipton and Burnley are locked at night.
Stopped for the evening at Barnoldswick. We went to the only restaurant that we found, which turned out to be good. Then to the Rainhall Cellar Bar. This is in the cellar of an off licence and the way in is through the shop while it is open, or round the back if they are closed. Only open Thursday to Sunday they had two beers on. None of the the other pubs in town looked inviting.
