Note to self. Must get up river more and concentrate on surroundings.

2,3 and 6 wrong.

Only been on the Thames a year, and never been up past Pangbourne, so not too displeased.

I read a book about the Thames, when we first got Shamby. Looks like it wasn't bad value!

Never past Pangbourne? Didn't realise that, going to Byron's is going to be a real expedition for you then!

Yup - the crowds will be out at Goring watching his every move, how gently he enters the lock, steerage skills, the throw of a line, cast-off and slip when he leaves, etc , etc.

3,5 & 8 wrong for me. I got a lucky guess on 6.

Anybody admit to getting the one about the speed limit wrong? I hesitated for a moment because I can never quite get the difference between kph, mph and knots clear in my mind.

I got no 10 wrong. Got the one about speed limits right, so that's a good sign
