General
Description - Journey length is 10 miles. Paddle through Skipton, exploring the Springs Branch on the way. Turn around 2.5 miles south of the town at Bradley Swing Bridge where there is parking and a picnic site.
No locks but 3 low bridges which will require portage. Last at the turn around point can be avoided by mooring on the Skipton side of the bridge.

Nice easy paddle. but much of it's length is beside roads, and about two thirds along there's a swan which hates canoes. It's lived there for fifteen years and kept on attacking me until I got the canoe out the water !
