York and Onwards

York to Newton-on-Ouse, River Ouse, 9.75 miles 0 locks

A very enjoyable day in York yesterday and did the 'tourist thing', there was so much that we wanted to see as well as doing some window shopping in the market. The Minster was fabulous, although I didn't make the big effort to take THE pic from the top! The Shambles, a very narrow cobbled road, was a delight.

We certainly learned how to tie No Problem up with springers with the large trip boats speeding up and down the waterway! During the evening the trip boats were turned into discos, and just being tied up along the waterway was very exciting, there was plenty going on!

Today we said goodbye to York to make our way towards Ripon, maybe we will spend one more day there on the way back. I enjoyed York very much. .

A lovely trip up the river today in the warm sunshine, although there was quite a high wind, the waterway was wide enough for it not to cause any problems. I was hoping that there would be some space at the mooring at Newton-on-Ouse outside of the Dawnay Arms, and sure enough we were in luck, so after an afternoon of very good fishing I am looking forward to a night out for wine and dine.
