River Ouse, Saturday 23rd to Friday 29th August 2008

This trip will be led by Herbie Renfield with catering by Philippa Shaw.

This trip aboard the The Yorkshire Waterways Museum's 'Sobriety' will travel from Goole to York and back. Because the River Ouse is tidal the timetable is dictated by the tides. As a result we may well travel along the Aire and Calder Canal before heading up river where we will be spending two full days in York. York is full of attractions such as York Minister, the National Railway Museum and the Jorvik Viking Centre. 'Sobriety' is a Humber Keel. The interior is spacious with wide bunks.

The price, which includes all meals, is £330.00. This price will be confirmed when the cost of hiring the boat from the Yorkshire Waterways Museum. A deposit of £110 per person is required when booking.

Transport to Goole. DART have always done what they can to help those people without transport to get to the starting point of the trip. This may be by asking people who live close to one another to share transport or by organising a mini-bus from the Cheltenham/Gloucester area. If we organise a mini-bus this will involve an additional charge for those who use it. For those that need it long term parking is available but it is some distance from the boat mooring.
