Tormentil narrowboat: April 2009
http://narrowboat-tormentil.blogspot.com/2009_04_01_archive.html
This is the story of narrowboat Tormentil, how we came to buy her and the adventures we hope to have. Sunday, 5 April 2009. We have a week to get from Sowerby to Burnley, Lancashire (on the Leeds and Liverpool) via the Calder and Hebble, and the Aire and Calder, and have been assured it is possible. As I have said before this canal pace of life is a little difficult to get my head around. Sowerby to Burnley is 40 minutes by car! Labels: Leeds and Liverpool canal. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). We live in Su...

Tormentil narrowboat: June 2009
http://narrowboat-tormentil.blogspot.com/2009_06_01_archive.html
This is the story of narrowboat Tormentil, how we came to buy her and the adventures we hope to have. Friday, 5 June 2009. The weather was hot and got hotter during the week up to 32C. This was good aclimatisation for my return last weekend when we had such great weather in England. I had half a day to sightsee and managed to get to the Jardin Majorelle which was a lovely quiet rest from the heat. These gardens mix architecture, colour and plants and I got some good pictures. Berbers riding and shooting.

Tormentil narrowboat: The Great Adventure day 7, Wednesday April 15th, To Skipton and beyond
http://narrowboat-tormentil.blogspot.com/2009/05/great-adventure-day-7-wednesday-april.html
This is the story of narrowboat Tormentil, how we came to buy her and the adventures we hope to have. Monday, 18 May 2009. The Great Adventure day 7, Wednesday April 15th, To Skipton and beyond. On the way to Skipton, they were probably responsible for all this as we hired a boat from them all those years ago and still remember enjoying the trip (apart from the swing bridges which I remember me doing last time and they were still just as much a pain). Moored up, I thought that was great. There is a steep...

Tormentil narrowboat: March 2009
http://narrowboat-tormentil.blogspot.com/2009_03_01_archive.html
This is the story of narrowboat Tormentil, how we came to buy her and the adventures we hope to have. Monday, 30 March 2009. I love following the tales of all the animals on board various boats, especially Caxton. They really are supposed to be this big. You can just see Jon hidden behind them. Cinammon the boy is unfortunately recently deceased but his sister Tamarin (Tammy for short) is still with us and seems to be enjoying the extra attention she is getting. Cinnamon looking smart for once. I canR...

Tormentil narrowboat: July 2009
http://narrowboat-tormentil.blogspot.com/2009_07_01_archive.html
This is the story of narrowboat Tormentil, how we came to buy her and the adventures we hope to have. Sunday, 12 July 2009. A view of Burnley from the 'mile long' (well nearly a mile long) embankement that goes through the town centre. Tuesday was really sunny so Jon was inspired to set off sailing again so went went for new territory from Burnley towards Blackburn. On the Burnley embankment. Gannow-short enough to see the end. Lady- ‘right’. Jon- no surely not. Was she seeing ghosts. Leeds and Liverpool...

Tormentil narrowboat: May 2009
http://narrowboat-tormentil.blogspot.com/2009_05_01_archive.html
This is the story of narrowboat Tormentil, how we came to buy her and the adventures we hope to have. Tuesday, 19 May 2009. The Great Adventure day 8, Thursday 16th April, Journey's End. We got to the Foulridge Tunnel. And pulled to the side to wait for the lights, someone had just come through and said there was a lot of debris at the other end, so he was clearing his propeller. Just as we had tied up the lights turned green so we leapt on again and set off through the tunnel. Green light for the tunnel.

Tormentil narrowboat: Short break to Foulridge
http://narrowboat-tormentil.blogspot.com/2009/07/short-break-to-foulridge.html
This is the story of narrowboat Tormentil, how we came to buy her and the adventures we hope to have. Monday, 6 July 2009. Short break to Foulridge. Lovely field full of buttercups. We eventually got to close to East Marton and I suggested we moor up where we could since reading Bendigedig. Recently Else had said there were problems with lack of moorings. Fantastic view from the moorings. The ambiance has also changed and things like her? A view from the other side. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).
