Boat Trip On Skipton Canal

Annual Outing. Cruising down the river.

The Annual outing this year was a cruise on the Skipton canal.
We had a super picnic on the boat which was provided by High Hall Residential Home.

We called in for tea at Kilnsey Fish Farm.
Weather mixed, hot sunshine and showers but it did not spoil the fun.

The boat we hired was from SCAD, (Skipton and Craven Action for Disability) a registered charity.
It was a new boat specially designed and equipped for less able bodied-people and came complete with a wheelchair lift.

The boat was completely fitted out with crockery, a cooker, tea towels, bin bags etc.
The tea, coffee and milk were supplied free by Morrisons supermarket Skipton.

All we had to do was bring the food and have a good time. So we did!

The lift is situated just in front of the lifebelt (bottom left).
