Time to move on today, this morning James from the 'canvas man' returned the repaired side panel of the cratch & I am impressed, the repair looks very neat & cost only £37, very good value I think.
We have had a cracking weekend with old friends & Sid learnt how to climb up a tree, unfortunately he's not mastered the art of climbing down yet so it took an hour of much coaxing & not a few scratches
( he chose a Hawthorne for his 1st attempt!) to get him back.
Help!
So we filled with diesel, you can self declare at Lower Park Marina :) got a gas refill & set off with a friendly (I think!) wave from Phil & Chris...
not long before you cross the border, a 1st for Poppy - being out of Yorkshire...
passing Kennet, looked after by The Leeds & Liverpool Canal Society
no sign of the Doctor......
finally we moored up on the visitor moorings, (note, not shown in Nicholson's guide but very much here) we are still on the summit & have extensive views of the urban areas of Nelson & Burnley that we shall be travelling through as we descend, quite a change after the rural Dales & Pennines. We may move on tomorrow or we may just stay the full 48hours......
