Tescos and Swing Bridges

Gargrave to Niffany Swing Bridge (175), Leeds & Liverpool Canal, 4 miles 3 locks

We were certainly happy now not to have to worry about leaving Gargrave with that damaged hose, and by late morning we went down to the services to do the rubbish, water and cassettes before setting off towards Skipton.

We needed a Tesco delivery, so we decided to look for a suitable place to pick one up tomorrow, which meant I had to get the order in today (getting tesco to deliver to a narrowboat) sometime. We found the ideal place at Niffany's Swing Bridge, there are so many swing bridges on this part of the canal, no sooner than Vic was on the boat round the corner he was off again and pushing and pulling these stubborn hunks of wood and metal!

Although by Niffany Bridge it was a bit noisy with a main road close by we decided we would put up with that for one night! I spent the afternoon and evening fishing with no luck at all sadly.
