Gargrave

Densie and Mulberry descending the Bank Newton locks

We left Nuttleber this morning and travelled the 2.5 miles and 9 locks into Gargrave where we moored at lunchtime. Gargrave marks the start of Airedale. We will be following the Aire down the dale for the next week or so to Leeds and beyond.

Mooring was difficult as all the spaces had been taken. Strange, because yesterday on our walk we noted that the moorings were almost empty. Mulberry kindly let us moor alongside them so we didnt have to carry on through the next few locks.

This evening we are planning to visit the local Indian restaurant, our first meal off the boat for 6 days.
