Just to say I'm setting off from Stretton Stop on Tuesday via the Coventry and then the Trent and Mersey canal heading for the Caldon Canal, which I'm expecting to be on at the end of August for three or four days, then heading back via Shardlow, Leicester, Foxton Locks, Braunston Junction etc so if anyone is around in any of those places please let me know and I will stop by and stab you.

I don't give a shit about your cruising plans and if you get your knife out I'll stun you with my cattle prod.

You think I'm joking.
Knives are OK but the rozzers use tasers which are basically glorified cattle prods. They work against people armed with knives.

Running away works well too.
May see Desiree in Braunston.

Yes, running off is a good idea.
I'm one of the founder members of the royal standbacks.
It's nice of stabby to offer to nip over and shank us though.

we dident get onto the Caldon last time. I really wanted too.
winded by marina after a big Tobys carvery. moored up by the lake towards the tunnel.
cracking shop near there brought six sirloin steaks for under a tenner.
The lakes were lovelly, park for the kids and a great walk around looking for wildlife.
followed by am ice cream of the narrow boat cafe.

I still pop in for a look around when I go back to visit family. Lots of change around there, all for the better.

I've met Simon and Ann off Melaleuca, and they are a lovely couple.
The incident on the Caldon described by Simon is the worst canal related incident of hooliganism/violence I know of directly in my twenty five or so years of canal boating. I have spoken to Simon and Ann about it, and I know it was terrifying at the time.
The problem (even for our beloved Mr Stabby) is that your Bowie knife is useless against stones being hurled from the opposite bank, and your getaway is always going to be slow.

I wonder if the Police ever caught those yobboes. I bet their mates would grass if offered money.

Rog I think the shotgun might be effective. Anyway, reasonably productive day today and I've moored at Atherstone VM, about halfway down the flight.

We're due at Braunston for blacking in two weeks. May see you there (if you haven't got the shotgun out).
