This weekend we ventured to one of our favourite places for a bit of peace and quiet, at Barmby On The Marsh.
Having departed Goole 1 hour 15 minutes before high water, we travelled at a steady 6 knots up river timing it nicely to arrive at Barmby an hour before high water rounding Moonshine up to enter the rather narrow lock entrance.
It appears we are the 4th visiting vessel so far this year, but with our River Derwent licence not due to expire until July we hope to make another trip here when the tides are once again in our favour.
Peace and tranquility at its best and virtually on our doorstep, and only 8 nautical miles upstream of Goole, thoroughly recommended.

Upon our return to Ocean Lock, Goole we received excellent service from the Dock Master who dealt with us swiftly. Exactly 2 hours after departing Barmby we were driving home after a lovely weekend away.
We still have not gotten around to vising Barmby.
