Oil tanker at CastlefordWe set off from Castleford relatively late - nearly 10:00am after chatting to other boaters moored at Castleford, and watching a large (compared to us) oil tanker pass by on its way to a terminal near Leeds.
On the CalderOur route took us on to the Calder, still for the time being part of the Aire & Calder Navigation, and up a couple of locks. We are on our way home - these are the first locks we have ascended in two and a half weeks. The canal remains wide and the locks large, though both are smaller than the Aire.
We moored at Stanley Ferry not far from Wakefield just before 13:00. Densie needed another pump-out and as the weather now feels too hot for comfortable cruising we have decided to stay here for the night.
