Skipton Waterways festival

[bargemast]

Hello dear everybody, I'm planning on going to the Skipton Waterways Festival, and I would like to know what it will be like.

 

Are there lots of interesting stands (like old engines etc) to watch, and do you think it's worth a visit having to come a long way to get there ?

 

Thanks in advance for your answers,

 

Peter.

The Airedale vintage machinery group had a stand last year, with several old engines on display. The L&LC Society will also have their heritage boat, Kennet, there. There are displays on board with information about the canal's history, and you can sit in the boatmen's cabin. It's the only L&LC short boat open to the public. I will be around, but am not sure exactly when as I have offered to cover times when there are fewest volunteers.

Is the L&L still restricted due to water shortages like last year? If not has all they restrictions on lock times been removed?

No restrictions at the moment.

 

No rain either mind !

Sounds like a day out to consider.

I know it is over the May day bank holiday but does it start on the Friday or Saturday.

Thinking I might be able to avoid the wedding coverage if it starts on the Friday

[Madmark62]

Sorry but it does not start till Saturday.

[tillergirl]

We're coming up by car not sure whether Sunday or Monday.

[Madmark62]

I will be there on Monday definitely, maybe Sunday too.

[Travis]

We'll be there, kettle's always on.
