MESSING ABOUT ON THE RIVER

Some of us have lived in Brigg for many years but never managed to take a boat trip round The Island, or, better still, along the navigable length of the River Ancholme - to South Ferriby or Brandy Wharf/Bishopsbridge.
Many Brigg folk have long admired the line-up of expensive craft moored on the river and belonging to members of Glanford Boat Club. It must be great to take a leisurely trip up, or down, river on a hot summer's day.
Most of us will have to wait until the Lottery numbers come up to stand a chance of buying such a boat. But we can always dream.
