New website up and running, please look at the new format 2016 schedule, hope you like it. For 2016 we are doing a string of cruises that go the length of the Leeds Liverpool and coast to coast. This is to celebrate the 200 anniversary of the opening of the Leeds Liverpool along its full length, the longest most amazingly scenic canal on the system.

Season Over

Apologies to those of you who read this news page, we have been doing more on Facebook and Twitter but will try next season to do a bit more with this as well.

Boat will be blacked this winter and a few other odds and ends for you to spot next year!

Cygnets and ducklings

Lots of babies around all of a sudden! We have seen some gorgeous sights including a flock of over 70 geese and goslings. Cygnets taking a ride on mums back and little orphan ducklings desperately trying to find mum. Nick has to stop me adopting them. It has been suggested we have a creche on top for any orphans we gather up!

Four in a Bed

We are sure that some of you will have been following us on Four in a Bed. An interesting experience, great fun. Can’t give anything away though you need to watch to see who wins. But it was a great thing to do that we thoroughly enjoyed.

Boat Painting

camweb — Mon, 26 Jan 2015 13:40:26 +0000

Earlier than we expected we are having to have the boat painted. We anticipated the paintwork to have survived longer than it has but it is all dependent on prep and finish.

She is in now being stripped back for a load of undercoats, top coats and new signwriting. We are keeping the colour scheme and sign work the same so no big change just a lot shinier!

Will post some photos once she is done.

End of the Season

camweb — Mon, 26 Jan 2015 13:40:04 +0000

Well I have been as bad as ever at updating the blog, I really promise to do better next year!

The season has finished now and we had a great time, we think the guests did as well, they said they had.

The weather was superb from the bright crisp days early on to the amazing summer days.

We would like to thank all our guests for their custom and company, many of whom we will see again next year and the year after.

The Calder & Hebble

Great run down the river to Selby. The Ouse really is quite a river! I do like the Selby canal with its strange large drains. A lovely quiet scenic canal experience.

Then it was a run across to Wakefield with the run along the meandering Aire before the big river locks and off up the Calder and Hebble, it is so fabulous up here and we have had great weather with everyone out on the roof.

Leeds and Aire and Calder

camweb — Mon, 26 Jan 2015 13:39:00 +0000

Another great run into Leeds, it really is a green corridor entry to the City, then a trundle through Leeds centre and night in Clarence dock.

We are now out on the river, Thwaites mills moors doing really well, well done Howard and Leeds council for getting these moorings up and running.
Moored up at Lemonroyd Lock opposite an interesting barge that generates electricity from the river flow, what a superb idea, Oblin Ark

At last babies!

camweb — Mon, 26 Jan 2015 13:38:37 +0000

As well as me becoming a Grandad for the first time, making me feel really old, we are starting to see the ducklings and cygnets at last, all a bit late like everything this year. Had stunning weather and the ever present fabulous scenery. What a life!
