I came across this tied up just below the weir at Lemonroyd Lock on the R.Aire this afternoon . I could,nt speak to the Guy on the Boat due to the noise from the water coming over the Weir , is this the new Electricity producing Paddle Boat ? and is it meant to be riding that low in the water ! .   |

Its a water powered generator. Abit like a modern day water wheel.

Me and the wife saw this a couple of weeks ago making its way westward along the Aire and Calder canal at Altofts!
Last time I saw it it was moored above the weir at Chantry Bridge in Wakey on the Calder last week. Not sure if its still there or gone. (didn't notice whether the pilot was a traveller though, but it didn't have a caravan on board lol)
