After 3 nights and 2 days without engine running (we took a trip home) the batteries were low this morning (12.0V on load). So the boat was moved to get water and then start the sequence of swing bridges. No other traffic until the bottom of Gargrave locks, when we got lots. Pairing up makes working in the locks easier, but getting in and out much more technical especially with hire boats. Interestingly, one hire boater we shared his second ever lock with was intuitively acting like a seasoned boater of years experience, the other not! Williamsons Farm is advertised in Nicholsons as having moorings (There is a moorings panel notifying the site, but not a lot else, and overall we were disappointed. Not being able to get an instant TV signal clinched it. We moved on, looking for a more open location with deep water. This is where Bridge 159 found favour. 4G data signal, TV OK. We have enjoyed great views up here, but the gloomy weather makes photography difficult. It was raining all morning.
