The crossing involves travelling 4 miles down the River Douglas to the River
Ribble then 3 1/2 miles up river, going always against the tides.

Not great weather!

Getting very choppy |

From the Ribble the boats turn into the Savick Brook which has been made navigable as a link to the Lancaster Canal |
 |
It's narrow and twisty |
 |
The final three locks make a staircase boats go up and down
backwards!
