Living the dream on a 47" Narrowboat:

bast

so am I... Have heard skipton is beautiful... dead jealous, do you still work... and as i say I share the same worry ... hey... its worth the worry..:D

I love Withnell Fold.. have you seen the boats moored up there... There is a dutch barge and she is looking empty... I would love a dutch barge....:D

btw gonna plug the chippy at Wheelton just lovely, and they have this little outside place where you can eat tiny, but wonderful...!!!!

Not walked upto Withnell for a while, i may just put it on my list for tomorrow:D Never eaten at the chippy at Wheelton, i just tend to walk around there- sometimes have a coffee at the pub.

If you just walk further up from there past the boatyard pub thats where we moor... We often walk down to Wheelton and for me the best time is winter... So beautiful... I dont know if anyone else has ever been but the moors and walks around Rawtenstall are amazing... If you had told me two years ago the best days of my life have been the ones that are free, or dirt cheap.... I would have called you that liar :) I get so cross with people who have no idea how beautiful the north west is... and thats from a southerner.... !!!!


ps boredatbeingathome... even if its just a bag of chips, from the chippy, sat outside near the lock, there is a little seat just opposite the lock.... treat yourself :)x bliss....

omg we were at the Boatyard last year sitting out on the benches.A woman next to us was slightly tipsy to say the least, and got up off the bench and rolled down the grass mound onto the carpark.I nearly peed my pants:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

I often sit on the bench, i hasten to add i am not the drunken one that fell over though;):rotfl::rotfl:

The Northwest is stunning, i am forever amazed by the countryside, i consider myself blessed that i can walk in it anytime
