...Hoisting the wheelhouse high helps in judging distances from the bank.

 

Gosh. On this ride on HumberPrincess in 2013 - fuel oil to Rotherham on the SYSYN - it's impressive that otherwise innocent trees, usually near a bend ('near in the context of travelling penalty-spot-to-penalty-spot-football-pitch) need all the steerer's skill and experience to navigate around, while other bigger nastier-looking trees are no problem at all. The message of which ones to remove seems to be lost in the layers of telling from (eg) the minister, the CE, to Head of Region, ... (all of whom have had similar rides) ... to boatcrew-with-chainsaws. Video of raiaing the wheelhouse here and more

The rather fine shots earlier of a telescopic wheelhouse reminded me of this trip on the Thames last year. Not so high, and the barge was empty, so a significant blind spot that the NBs need to watch out for,

Not on this day, but hopefully of interest ... When the Yonne froze in 1985. At minus 27 Centigrade, it set like granite.

And looking from near the viaduct

This is one of my less-frequently-visited navigations, to which the picture below is a small clue

and for those who don't use one daily, then clicking on it reveals what it is. If that doesn't help, there's always the fact of Ursula Southeil (c.1488–1561) being born nearby in a convenient cave. And if all else fails, Nice Mr Google has a map here.

 

 

 

 Tell us how you got on - with your pic of "What is Nice on the Waterways", of course. Enjoy ?

I guessed Durham, so wasn't too far out. I have done that train ride, a rather fine view.

Durham has an excellent boat-trip on the Prince Bishop

The legend goes that if the viaduct collapses the World will come to an end. Knaresborough if I live and breathe!

Excellent trips on various boats available, including a former lifeboat in October 2019, ...

... shopping centre encounter with a survey-taker "Are you a regular visitor to Whitby?" "yes, I remember the excellent F&C from my last visit" "when was that?" "1969: regular but not very frequent"... But I always take pictures ...

I took this shot of the Abbey and it was blessed with perfect timing. The 2 seagulls appeared just as I took it.
