There's a hire boat sunk in Higherland lock at Gargrave on the Leeds & Liverpool,

No-one hurt but likely to be a few hours before it reopens,

apparently the back end got stuck by the gate as the boat went diagonally across the lock

and as the lock filled the front went up and the back didn't !

Which hire company/ boat?

Receiving that call saying 'we've had a bit of a mishap' is sickening - I have been there.

 

Hopefully all guests are ok.

Guests are all fine gutted but fine. Martin from Pennine is back in the morning to change oil in engine and have second go at getting it started!

 

Boat is fully booked!!!!
