Hi Barry, reckon I'll be pleased to get back to salt after 100 miles or so or fresh water. Had a narrow boat once, surprised Byron will even speak to me, been there done trhat, got the bitumen stains! Good to see our old mate Gordon, yesterday.

Yes, it's been realyy great. I trip I've always wanted to do, brings back memories of my youth a couple of years ago. Weather looks set fine thro to weekend. What a splendid chap Byron is for choosing this week. Although if I remember I think some else did.

Hi there,

Looks like a good trip up so far ...

Sadly i was on leave , so didn't get to meet you , presumably you met Peter ( oldish chap , slightly abrupt , but a good guy ) ....

Maybe see you on the way down ....

Best wishes

H

Which would mean quite a lot

I was working in the shed... mainly because I could not get a glare free screen on the mooring but also because the wireless isn't working down there at the moment. I have plans for solving both issues....
