Good pubs , too. <br /><br />Who pays the lock-keepers, he harumphed!<br /><br />Sounds extra-cool to be deciding where to go even after weeks afloat.

Ho hummm. <br /><br />Yes the Tinsley lockies make it as hard as possible to get to Sheffield: try asking for an afternoon passage up the locks: they are supposed to be open but grumpiness precludes this happening, reason quoted as having to relock the locks before knocking-off-time. <br /><br />When Yorkshire do the bookings through the Office (Standedge) the whole thing gets out-of-step with what's happening on-the-bank, and when they do the booking direct-to-bank (Sheffield), they dissuade boaters from doing the trip.<br /><br />Good luck with the Rochdale!.... and the bookings of Summit, Manchester, and Tuel-Lane opening hours :-) All controlled by Wigan of course, so that's 'different' (not necessarily 'better')<br /><br />Regards<br />PeterScott<br />Sheffield.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
