Hello.
I'm planning a trip from France in an old 15M dutch barge next spring.
Crossing the channel as early as we can get the right weather window. Up the Thames and continue to the Kennet and Avon canal and on to Bristol. There, we face our next challenge. Down the Bristol channel along the south Welsh cost and across the Irish sea.
I've posted here about this trip before, regarding the bridges on the Kennet and Evon, but I believe that should be ok as our air draft is only 2.2M, beam 3.6M. Although there may be other issues I'd like to know about? Our first big challenge is crossing the channel. The option of putting it on a truck hasn't been completely ruled out, but we're not considering it yet.
At the moment, I would like to get in contact with anyone else who might be considering such a trip, as company might be practical option. So, if anyone has any info about someone else considering such a trip we would be grateful.
WE would also like to know about costs we may incur crossing the UK.
DC.
