Top Five Places Visited So Far....

Due to the continued big freeze and the subsequent lack of new adventures we have been looking back over the last two years of owning Naughty-Cal and compiling a list of our favourite places she has taken us.

Number 1 - Wells next the Sea
First place is no great suprise. Wells next the sea was our first outing to sea and as such will always be a special place for us.

Number 2 - York

York is a city we have visited many times prior to owning a boat. Entering the city by water brings a whole new dimesion to the experience. A great place to visit by boat if you dare take on the mighty River Ouse. The tidal sections are some of the worst waters we have navigated, littered with debris ranging from whole trees to dead livestock.

Number 3 - Hull

A suprise entry at number 3. Our visit to Hull certainly proved to us that Hull is a city on the up. We thoroughly enjoyed our few days there in excellent surroundings and the trip under the Humber bridge isnt to be missed.

Number 4 - Newark

At number 4 a more local trip for us, but the place still draws us back time and again. Excellent summer moorings opposite the castle with safer floating moorings for winter visits outside the British Waterways local offices.

Number 5 - Ripon

We discovered Ripon almost by accident during some spare time on our first holiday to York. The place is truely stunning and the last couple of miles on the canal into Ripon are simply stunning. Sadly the lack of depth means we most probably wont visit again with Naughty-Cal but even so Ripon is worthy of making the list.
