Hopefully we will be cruising. Not decided which way to go yet down to bath for a relaxing week or hammer and ring to newbury/reading for a fortnight.
Depends if I get a crew for caen hill.
Probably go spend a week with the unwashed liveabords down west.😉
That and we can meet some tb members.

Are there no TB members who would willingly be crew for you? I'd jump at the chance. Only someone has to drive my bus, and, sadly, it's me.

I will have the missus and kids but the little one will probably rather do drawing and help steer. However it was blooming cold last time we went up and down.

I'm planning to have a little run up from Teddington to Oxford next week. Nice little cruise up the Thames to see whats happening and make sure everyone is behaving themselves. Canalplan says 41 hours I make that about 2 and a half days if the river is not running fast

When we went into Liverpool a couple of years ago we had to call them out, I'm sure to the same bridge. They've obviously sorted the problem Your photos reminded me of the pub, The Blood Tub I think it was called. We called in for beer and ended up having 'Lancashire Tapas'. Made us chuckle, and we enjoyed it. Seem to think it was fried black pudding, mushrooms and sausages (but all fancied up of course). I think the beer was good too, but expensive. Rog

Rog I moored my widebeam 'Apple of my eye' along that stretch at the Bloodtub from 05-08, regularly go in there still....its still expensive 🙄🙄
