After three long days, finally a lie in. Set off at 9.45 and arrived at Foulridge tunnel just too late to go through the tunnel, so we were delayed by 45 minutes. After we did get through we moored above Barrowford locks and walked into Barrowford to the the George and Dragon. As we expected they had no food so on our return to Jacob we had a Bacon sandwich.
Passed through the centre of Burnley and moored for the night at the BW yard which is secured by an anti-vandal key. We hurried to catch the 1853 train from Rose Hill station into Burnley, as the next train was 2 hours later. Went to eat in the Wetherspoons, where I had the Lamb shoulder for the first time, and it was very good. Next we went to the Ministry of Ale, home of the Moonstone brewery. Then we went to the Coal Clough, in the hope of finding some Masseys beer, but there were some pump clips turned round and a Karaoke was in progress so we didn't stop there. Finally we went to the Gannow Wharf pub on the way back to the boat on foot.
