Groundhog Day

The reservoir is no longer overflowing but is still full. That means at least another month of sailing. What more is there to say? We've been here before! Oh, and it's raining again.

Rain 5, Yorkshire Water 0

Doe Park is fuller than full, with water pouring out of the overflow. I'm amazed that the pond has filled up so quickly especially with the valve open. However, whilst I am pleased that we will be able to sail for longer, I'm starting to feel a bit frustrated with the delays; I imagine that's even more true for the people at Yorkshire Water.

The Water Rises

It's been raining again and the reservoir is filling up. Tony took these pictures yesterday and reckons that by today the pond will be full.

The M62

Last Tuesday we moved one of the jetties which means that the 'M62' slipway is now open for traffic.

Beaches are emerging at the southern end of the pond. Shame there's no sand!

Ullswater

On Sunday, several Denholme SC members travelled to Ullswater for a day's sailing. Some people took their own boats whilst others hired. The day was cool and misty; hills were shrouded in mist but undoubtedly still beautiful. The weather was difficult: it was either raining and windy or dry and calm. However, it was great day and I really enjoyed it!

May

The water is now going down by about a metre a week, as planned.

A few weeks ago, an old boat appeared by the clubhouse. The holes in the hull keeep her off the water but she makes a very good bench for teabreak.
