great video as normal, that 127 year old boat...... there is a replica in the marina very similar, we have been bumping into them for a while now, three foot draft, not great for this canal! Also bumped into Slum today!! Happy Christmas to you both, the first time grumpy here has said that!!!!

The Pennine Way is about 270 miles in total. It also joins the L&L Canal at East Marton. Most people take about 2 1/2 weeks to do the complete walk averaging about 15 miles a day. Of course there are some substantial climbs most days.
In the Gargrave area you could walk north to Malham and catch buses back via Skipton. You could walk south to Earby and also catch buses back via Skipton.

Thanks for that information

Do you guys live on the barge all year round or just the warmer months?

Hi Tony,
We are full time aboard continuously cruising the network.
Winter can be a lovely time to cruise and the boat stays toasty warm with the solid fuel stove
