Nine week cruise - day 24 - Monday 25th July 2005
East Marton to Barrowford Bottom Lock
David writes: 0800 David/Will up. 0830 under way. Blue sky, sunny and chilly. Stopped for water and shower at Barnoldswick, then on to Foulridge Tunnel.
Lights red, so waited ten minutes until 1300, then a half-hour dry passage through.
Stopped at 1600 at Barrowford Bottom Lock, just before Nelson. Moored on offside bank, by open fields before a housing estate, but within the noise of the motorway.
Just west of Foulridge Tunnel. Wonder if it's still there.
Corn on cob; bangers; spuds; beans; creme caramel; minstrels; port; scrabble. Bed at 2330.
