Hello MrP
Its good to know there a signs at the junctions, bit of a silly question but I had to ask it just to make sure. Got the maps, got the collins ones, so a big general one, the nottingham, heart of england and the grand union have all been ordered.
Spent the 1st weekend on the boat on dry standing just to go through everything that is new, found a few little niggles and the survey threw up a couple but the boys at notts boats are taking care of everything. We are going up with a couple of friends on the 27th July to have a long weekend in the water and just going to cruise around nottingham to stay local incase we have any teething problems with the boat in the water. Then its the big one, 2 weeks starting the 12th August bringing her back to Uxbridge. Looked into RCR, I am a bit handy with tools as I restore old VW's but still going to get the cover for how much it costs as I have never worked on desiels.
If I am honest we are a little bit worried about the rivers as we have never been on any before, but we will just plough through it. But as you say the biggest thing is to enjoy it, which we will do.
Hi Kevin
the guys at Notts are top blokes. Your near hemel then? I make you right then if you did that in 8 days we should be ok for the 2 weeks.
When we got definate dates I will let you know and give an estimate of when we will be passing, might even stop for a cuppa if we are running on good time. Always nice to actually meet people you chat to in the world of cyber.
