After the drama of the last view locks, getting onto the river and then into the docks was very welcome. We were very impressed with the docks. Every thing looked new and very clean. The docks had been developed between 2000 and 2007 and very well thought out. We had electric and taps on every berth and we were all looking forward to spending a couple of days here.
We arrived on Wednesday 3rd in torrential rain. Dave lit his fire to try and dry out the carpets that had been soaked earlier by the locks and then we all disappeared to the pub. The rain carried on all night and we were a
bit concerned about the river Aire rising. Thursday dawned grey but dry so we all went to the outdoor market in the morning. By the afternoon the rain came again and this time it rained persistently for the rest of the day and into the night. Sure enough when we woke the next morning BW had closed the flood gates and we were well and truly marooned in the basin. This now is to be our home until the river goes down. Goodness knows when that will be!!!!
