We were also near neap tides and there is very… Read More »Pembroke Day 4 Ian’s boat has a misadventure

Lancaster Canal Sunday 11th May by Olwen What a lovely, gentle paddle along the scenic Lancaster Canal, from Lancaster to Galgate and back. Thank you to Carl for organising and leading it.

Luckily, the lack of rainfall didn’t impact our passage as we cruised along with the surrounding countryside looking lush. Cows knee… Read More »Lancaster Canal Sunday 11th May
