A big thank you to all who have contributed suggestions about my proposed trip up the Caldon Canal. Most recently to Phil who has suggested a further option which I will come back to.
So far I have decided the dates will be between the 19 and 24 April.
I have whittled the options down to 3.
1) 5 days from STONE on Agnes or FRANCES 19 hours cruising each way £511 plus fuel.
2) 4 days from Eturia on Duchess 2 11 hours cruising each way £593 plus fuel.
3 5 days from Eturia on Trent or Duches 4 11 cruising each way £675 plus fuel.
Phil has now suggested a further option from Kent Green with an optimistic cruising time of 2 3/4 hors to Eturia. (The best timings I can calculate are 4 hours cruising each way) but this is half the time needed for the Stone to Eturia section, so I am going to make some further enquiries,
Thanks to all
Chris Bowden
