@canalrivertrust Hi, we have a repeat issue of overflowing bins on the canal in Gargrave, at both of the bin locations. Can this be sorted out please, the frequency of emptying isn't sufficient and it will be much worse in Spring and Summer when more use the canal! Thank you.

@StAustellBrew Just had 3 halves of this in the Cornish Arms, St Merryn and it's really nice 👍

@HedgehogCabin I'm registered on this (for you of course!) but beware using it on mobile devices because it doesn't work for all sites! If you can go via a laptop then do, I've missed out on quite a few opportunities to donate without realising 😔.

@CRTContactUs hi there's a canal boat moored up just west of Ray Bridge 172 on the Leeds Liverpool canal and it's leaking fuel into the canal. The spillage is now about 0.1 miles long (reaches to the next set of Gargrave locks). Boat number 517071.

@sarajcox My dad claims he chose my name and named me after an ex girlfriend 😂. I'm not sure what he told my mother 😆.

@swan_norwich What a great idea!

[Vanessa Ford @nesscooper]

@HedgehogCabin This is amazing, loved the blanket attempted move 😂. Thank you for sharing this fabulous footage!

Come on @AldiUK sort yourselves out, I love your stores but will have to reconsider if you go ahead with this

[Vanessa Ford @nesscooper]

@HedgehogCabin Fabulous, what fantastic news for lovely Effy.

[Vanessa Ford @nesscooper]

@Natures_Voice Fab, thank you! It stayed around for 3 days (in the same spot!), and has now moved on, to the coast hopefully!

[Vanessa Ford @nesscooper]

Unusual spot in Gargrave yesterday. Potential Long Tailed Duck. Red listed, and I've never seen one before! @Natures_Voice @CRTYorkshireNE @_BTO @CravenHerald @ChrisGPackham #birdwatching #leedsliverpoolcanal #gargrave #wildfowl #yorkshiredales

@HedgehogCabin Such wonderful news, what an amazing testament to your care and love! Good luck Clark!

@A87W Don't upset a Facebook group 🤣. I hope they don't lay eggs!

[Vanessa Ford @nesscooper]

@A87W 🤦‍♀️ it really does make no sense. Lot's of swans nest by tidal rivers, but manage to put the nest in an appropriate site!

[Vanessa Ford @nesscooper]

@HedgehogCabin I had someone move into mine 2 weeks ago, and has been on and off eating the dog meat and putting more straw in from the dry straw store next to the hog house 🙌

It's the time of year for amazing sunsets 🎉. Gargrave dodged a rumbly snow storm, it skirted round Skipton and over to Lancashire. It provided some nice pictures! #sunsetsoftwitter #cloudsoftwitter #gargrave #leedsliverpoolcanal #yorkshiredales #winter #ice

389y and Hissy, not very graceful on land, their legs can't go fast enough 😂. Graceful on the water and then a sneaky Feed Me attack at the end. #Swans #swansoftwitter #leedsliverpoolcanal #gargrave

[Vanessa Ford @nesscooper]

100% accurate. They will. 😂🦢

[Vanessa Ford @nesscooper]

The swans around Gargrave, Hissy and 389y, the friendly pair towards Skipton (410y and 393y), and 384y with 496y who move fast at the sound of a carrier bag. #swanspam #Swans #swanningaround #leedsliverpoolcanal #gargrave #canalandrivertrust

Footprints back into the endless fog of Gargrave. #fog #winter #walks #northyorkshire
