Malham

Nine week cruise - day 21 - Friday 22nd July 2005

Stayed put in Skipton


The boat did, that is, we cycled through some excellent Yorkshire countryside to Malham to look at the cove and tarn.



John up at 0810. Shopped at Skipton market and bought some rations, including pork pies, for our cycle ride. At 1230 we cycled to Malham and left our bikes at the start of the walk to the cove.



After some pretend silliness for the camera we walked to Malham Tarn and back.


cooling our drinks

Then we cycled to Gargrave with the intention of returning to Skipton along the towpath. We hadn't reckoned on it being quite so bumpy and slow, so we gave up on the towpath and used the A65 instead. When we got back to the boat we moved it out of the Springs Branch onto the main line beyond the second swing bridge to be near the staion.

Skipton is full of rowdy youths. Skipton's pubs are full of drunk rowdies. Hoping for a quieter night with no church bells in hearing distance.
