Summer trip 2007

Lyra was worked during summer 2007 from the Bridgewater canal to the Leeds and Liverpool, Calder and Hebble, Rochdale canal and back on to the Bridgewater using weekends and holidays. The floods in the Leeds area halted progress as the city was impassible so we abandoned that week, leaving the boat in the CV Marine marina Apperley Bridge 8 miles short of Leeds. The stages were, Skipton, Leeds, Dewsbury and Sowerby Bridge
