Our Holidays

We rejoined the boat on Tuesday, and today was our first cruise Curdworth to The Dog and Doublet at lock 8, 8 locks and 2.5 miles of canal, I need a drink, loads of repairs and cleaning up, too many jobs to remember, most sorted now so leisure time at last, this is a pic of the boat in lock 3 going down, Rick

yes we have done about 90% of the inland waterway system including the Thames from Limehouse to Brentford and center arch of Tower bridge wonderful trip, the only one we did not get to was the Kennett & Avon, we even did the Lancaster (spent a whole year on that one) and of course we have not been on the Calidonion you know the one is scotland with the Falkirk Wheel Happy days we are now headed to the Ashby canal, Rick
