    Sure that's not just you peeing in it upstream? You need to drink more water, dehydrated lad.

    Is there anything more ‘Bradford’, than a river polluted with curry?

    Great spot for fish masala, though.

    @BigDaddyO@BigDaddyO - on a fishing forum discussing odd catches folk have had, this came out of the Leeds Liverpool Canal apparently :D

    Can't get the staff m8.

    So, is that like a fish and chips portion, with an extra fish?

    I will take it on board as I don't wish to make anybody angry with what I post or how I post I've now stopped posting......... :) on the end hopefully you can now calm down and concentrate on educating our younger folk to a very high standard and be able to have a little sleep whilst on your dinner break.

    More waterways than fishing, but as anyone done any barging or boating breaks?

    For some odd reason ive always fancied it, but never bothered as yet due to kids ages (9,11). They are at the age now where they would probably help out or just disappear with a device so im thinking about doing it.

    Couple of things im wary of, obviously the locks, id like to encounter as few as possible, and the moorings, Are they safe? The boats dont look very secure and wouldnt want encounter a deviant on whilst tied up on a canal path

    Any recommendations accepted

    Evening.

    I've never done it but am hooked (scuse the pun) on a couple of YouTube channels.

    Search for 'Cruising the Cut' & 'Robbie Cumming'. The first is an ex journo who decided to pack work in & live on a boat & the 2nd is a guy who works and 'cruises' at the same time.

    The first is a bit of a how-to guide, the 2nd a travelogue of the various places he gets to.

    I've never 'done' a lock but having watched these I feel quite the expert...

    Did a stag do on a barge once, around Coventry.

    Sounds grim, but actually it was superb. It is pretty rural, and we found some really good pubs along the way.

    Pottering along at about 5 miles an hour, seeing countryside and drinking beer. What's not to like?

    These sound a bit (really) dodgy on reflection but trust me.

    Once got invited by a 'mate' to spend a day on his barge. Travelled from Skipton to East Martin and back. Used me to open and close the lock gates and believe me there are a lot of them on that route!

    As an aside, next time I head out trout fishing, I will post pics of river (and hopefully some fish), beautiful place.

    Greetings from the River Humber.

    Maritime Museum has been visited. Not as vast as the one in Liverpool but still very good.
