  1. Sorry for taking so long to reply but got held up before hols. Left lap top for piece of mind, but thanks for your comments We doddled to Stourport and returned via the Droitwich loved it apart from the drenching we got on the 14th going up the Severn. Had a great meal in the Eagle and Sun and at the other end of the scale Witherspoons in Stourport. One serious comment DO NOT MOOR opposite Smiths papers yard just above lock 3 the yard works all night with the small lift trucks reversing continuously. Once again thanks to all this is one great web site love reading all the comments
  2. Yes we ate there 3 years ago when we did the Avon ring from Tardibigge, Had a v/good meal after completing the flight. Will maybe revisit at the end of the trip and ta for the tip
  3. Stoke Prior to Stourton Out and return looking for pubs, places or concerts of interest. Thanks in anticipation Andri
  4. We will be on the GU in early May for our hols and will be travelling north from Linslade, so I am also interested in all comments. This is the first time we will have covered this area. Our intention is to cruise up to Market Harborough and return over the two weeks all additional info greatly appreciated. I should say we have simple tastes in food no spicey stuff these days. Would like to know of any recommended canalside pubs with music. Hope you enjoy your hol neil

  6. Hi Again,

    We are now on our holiday and are having a great time thanks to you and the other forum folk who were kind enough to give me their advice, So far we are about 2/3rds of the way around the Avon Ring and have reached Wooten Wawen had a great night in the Navigation Inn. Found the locks on the Avon a bit of a bind but did cope in the end. Had to put heating on thought this was summer.

  7. Hi Chickadee thanks for your comments

  8. Hi again, My apologies for not replying to your last message on the Avon ring. i appreciate your comments and would ask where you would recommend stopping for a bite to eat on the Severn. Any hints on going through Birmingham I would also be greatful for. We are off at the end of the week so were hoping for a pleasant cruise.

  9. Point taken. I'll hope for better this time round. We are now at the "What have you not got packed stage" and "does it need washed". Ah well soon be on our way.
  10. Perhaps your correct but i still think it is wise to check the inventry before you leave the boatyard.
  11. We also hired from Anglo Welsh last year and were very happy with the boat we had (Golden Eagle). The problem we had was with the itinary that should have been on the boat, a number of items were missing and one or two things needed replacing and cleaning. If we had checked the boat over properly at the start we probably would have had these items replaced we didnt because we had become to complacent having hired now for many years and had on the whole good service from many companies. We blame the paticular boatyard and ourselves for allowing that to happen and not Anglo Welsh. So we are again hiring a boat from the same company this year only from another yard.
  12. Nice videos Hope we get such good weather. Andri
  13. Thanks Mary P will certainly try. Did you stop at Upton on Severn by any chance and if so which hostelry would you recommend. Andri
  14. Thanks Guys for your comments very interesting and much appreciated. Just hope it doesn't rain to much the few days before our holiday. Andri
  15. Thanks for the info Mike. As I have said else where in the forum I hope to do the Avon ring next month will take on board what you have said, You didn't say what sex the lock keepers were, or was that deliberate? Andri
  16. Hi as I'm hoping to do the Avon Ring next month I'm very interested in your cruise updates. Hope luck changes and you have pleasant trip from now on. Andri
  17. Thanks for the info Stewey, my doc says I've to lose weight anyway so whats a problem with one more lock. Like you all relevant info about the Avon ring will be useful. Andri
  18. Thanks for the info that is all new to me. I was looking for just such info. Andri

  20. Thanks Tiny and all for being so helpful. Hopefully there won't be any rain in Wales before we start our cruise but if there is we will find somewhere else to go probably another ring? By the way should you see us on Silver Dusk next month say hallo. You never know there might be something left in the bottle!!! Andri

  22. Hi Tiny, as I might be doing the ring myself next month I have followed this post with some interest. Alas I spotted a mistake in your calculations should your total hours not be 57? Also the lunch break sounds good. Great answers

  25. Hi my name is Andri

    My wife and I for our holidays have cruised on the Broads, the River Thames and quite a few canals for a number of years. We just love it.

    Over the years we have met lots of folk who on the whole have been very kind and helpful. we have enjoyed the spirit of the waterways which is so different to other forms of travel. Visiting new places and the hoste...
