Thanks, I'll have a read of that. I hadn't considered going clockwise, as we wanted to get tardebigge out of the way first. 😁

Good afternoon all, we have a weeks hire in June next year, from Trinity Boats in Dunhampstead. We are thinking of doing the Stourport Ring - Anticlockwise. After picking up the boat, head up the loacks at Stoke Prior, overnight at the Queens head, ready for Tardebigge in the morning. We are two couples, and the fellas like their beer, so any advice on good pubs on the route for Lunch or Dinner would be well received Rough plan for stops 1 - Queens Head 2 Alvechurch 3 - Bumblehole/windmill end 4 - Stourbridge - Samson & Lion Pub 5 - Lock inn at Woverley 6- worcester 7 - Tibberton 8 - Drop the boat back Does this look do-able? All tweaks gratefully received Thanks very much

Thanks, I guess we'll just have to keep an open mind. ?

Thanks. That's helpful. ?

Thanks Dave, We are only on the boat for one week, but canal plan says that route should take us 5hrs per day. There are 6 of us - my family of 4, and my elderly parents who are first timers. . only one has reduced mobility, so plenty of hands, and apart from the parents are all used to locks.... We had a baptism of fire on out first trip from Warwick, picked up the boat and then went straight up the Hatton flight! I do appreciate what you've said, and that's partly why Ive left Hungerford until the last 2 days, in case we are running out of time, and can just do GB to Devizes and back. What do you call Very Early? We were hoping to be stopped by 4 most days. Is that too late? Thanks for the pub info, the Barge is definitely on my list. ?

Thanks! I saw a picture this week of our boat next to the Rose of Hungerford, so it looks like it's still a thing. ?

Hi everyone, We've got an adapted boat booked from Bruce Trust, and the plan is to go from Great Bedwyn to Devizes, then turn around to go to Hungerford/kintbury, and back to great Bedwyn. I'm not expecting the whole journey to be wheelchair friendly but are there any mooring places you'd recommend for less mobile folk. He can walk with a rollator unless tired but I think we'll probably use the wheelchair most of the time. And whilst I've got your attention, and pubs, places of interest you'd recommend along that stretch? I've done a rough plan... 2 days to Devizes, 3 to Hungerford, and 1 back to Great Bedwyn. But didn't want to miss any gems. Thanks very much.
