Does anyone really give a shit. Boaters I'm likely to meet on the way probably will be, but I can understand that a continuously mooring London pikey might not be.

I realise I'm the self righteous, sanctimonious, sycophantic one on here, with an occasional drift into boat larceny..... but I do. Rog

If and when you turn up in my neck of the woods I'd be chuffed to bits if you'll consider a trip to the pub with a continuously mooring London pikey. You might even get a safety boat to escort you up river from Limehouse to Teddington if you ask nicely That's if I'm not busy engaged in leisure pursuits on the River.

Rog As I said, I'm sure there are boaters on Thunderboat who will be interested, but Magnetman isn't a boater, he is somebody who lives on a boat and that is a different thing entirely.

Fuck off then beer offer withdrawn, safety boat offer withdrawn. I'll throw things at you when you go past. To be fair you don't have to go past my mooring there are much nicer routes available anyway You'll find it hard to avoid me though

I'm the kind of saddo that likes to read what others are upto occasionally. I recommend Quaysiders blog about nb Ellis. It's also useful when someone like yourself is travelling in an area we will be heading towards. It gives us a heads up for issues. Plus I'm just nosey Rog

I've no idea how you would manage it but to be fair their will probably be other narrow boats doing the incredibly dangerous trip as you are doing it in the summer.
Just take care out there and don't get too frightened or intimidated by it all.

I'm not a rude person at all.

Thanks. Brentford booked for next Thursday morning at 0600 - a nice quiet run down to Limehouse.
You did mean me ? Or did I get the wrong and of the stick again.

I just hope for your sake you don't get any unexpected behaviour from other boats. If you let me know the dates I can check with my MI5 contacts if there are any anti terrorist training exercises involving Really Big Inflatables making large wash on your chosen day. That should reduce the chance of any problems. Also do you have a vhf? And do you have a vhf license? Can you remember the phonetic alphabet? Its very important.

Can I gently remind you that I am going to Llangollen and although the River Thames is famous for many things, it is not famous for being part of the transit route from Warwickshire to Denbighshire?
