We went to the Marina and were planning to head straight off, but we're dragged into the atmosphere in the bar so ended up watching the football. Worth watching given the result. We then headed off and settled down just beyond the sanitary station at Bramwith. It was a lovely spot and very peaceful for the night. We had a very peadeful time sitting on the canal bank watching the sun go down.
In the morning I took a walk to the aquaduct which takes the New Junction canal over the River Don. A spectacle we've not viewed from that perspective.
The River Don and and the keadby to Stainforth canal run almost parallel at this point. On the way back to the boat spotted three Swans down in the River Don it was possibly the lowest I have seen the Don in some time. It made me think that had the Monk Benedict from Auxerre sailed up the Don rather than the Ouse his monastery may have ended up here.
On the way back to Thorne we called at Stainforth market for breakfast. Quite a few boats already there meant we had to take a mooring where it was a bit of a scramble to get off.
