Just what we needed, as the days lengthen and the temperature rises: a reminder that winter is not far behind!

Nah, it's ages away yet. 

 

I was just thinking that @Midnight could check when they are planning to shut Yorkshire again - although of course the plan doesn't allow for the emergency stoppages ...

 

The other useful thing about early planning is that it helps CCers decide where they might like to either head for or avoid over winter.  If a favourite area has limited or no access to services it's handy to know before the stoppages happen.

Only a month to go and the days start getting shorter and the countdown to Christmas begins. Horrific!

Still a bit more than a month, but I get your drift.

The sun is the same in a relative way, but you're older

Shorter of breath, and one day closer to death

 

Always good to keep in mind...

I suspect Yorkshire will be closed several more times before winter and I wonder when C&RT will start erecting blue signs saying "This lock under repair" or "No water until it rains" or "Beware wolves in this area" etc. On the Huddersfield and Rochdale they could add the slashline "Better with water"

There is no dark side of the moon really. Matter of fact it's all dark!
