I've confessed a few times I would love to do it, either in lieu time or as crew. i can both be in it to win it or have a laugh, few beers at the same time. or both. sounds like a thunderboat crew should be entered then, that should put the cat among the pigeons. That's not a bad idea - I bet dogless could get hold of a boat no problem.....

Sticking a jet engine on the roof and zooming along would be fun, splashing towpath cyclists!

A wooden one with a bolinder, lots of street cred at the event. Can we all grow beards (young maggers might struggle). Is there room for a cannon?

Do you really think a disparate group of bigoted sweary chip shouldered weirdos could coexist on a narrowboat for 30 hours without killing each other?
Can I watch please?
Maybe we should have a sweepstake for the last person standing?

If we can't go the trad route, dogless can't steal the right boat, then we should go the other way, someone can provide a boat with Fake Rivets to upset the traditionalists. We can always drag one of Magnetmans devices behind to pick up any lost in the battles. We will need a ginger cook too! Extra special bacon butties!

Well I suppose you are making it sound quite appealing!

Come on, this isn't fair. Rog didn't steal a boat, he just helped some other people steal one.

Guess part of it could be the social element as over the way they'd plan strategy for months pre event. I went to view once but it poured and I got lost in Brum so for me a non event. I did consider having a go but realised tad ambitious as solo and i didn't really know anyone to join with as they all seemed to be teams. Anyway suspect not really for me..I preferred a chug along at my own slow speed watching wildlife. I would have crewed for you! Ive always wanted yo do it! and I cook!

I can steer a canal boat from 10am until 2am if that is helpful with one or two tea breaks and bacon sandwiches and Guinness. And I do locks. Lots of locks. Stamina personified that's me.
