Wed 7th June '17Leeds To Pollington

Had a really rough night with the boat been thrown all over the place by gale force winds, (too many beans Lucy) joking aside the wind really howls in Leeds Dock, had to get up about 4 am to strap the pole, plank etc to the roof.
Decided to set off and see how we get on as we could always stop at Woodlesford, the wind was not as bad as in Leeds Dock, it at least blew in the same direction and that was from behind  us so didn't cause too much of a problem. The wind speed peaked at around 2 in the afternoon then gradually subsided. Finally reached Pollington after 8 hrs cruising.
