    I wondered after posting that........

     

    Do Lily (6ish) and Bea (8 months) count as crew?

     

    I was tempted to count them as -0.5 crew each, bringing Tatty Lucy's crew down to one

    Much as I would love to see it, not a snowball's chance in a bonfire.    BW bought the IWA lock stock and barrel by subsidising their festivals.

    Since then Aickman's Holy Grail of a single waterway authority has been dangled in front of them, so they certainly wont rock either CRT or the EA boats.

     

    The IWA internal structure is also carefully designed to ensure that militancy is fenced off in  the lower reaches and cannot  rise to any of the committees with actual ability to change things.

    I think you need to take a good look at all these canal support organizations. All of those campaigning groups were lead by young, enthusiastic individuals who wanted to save the canals. And now they are all getting on in years

     

    There are no young, vibrant canal organisations I can think of to be militant

     

    Unless you are volunteering, of course

    Similar to them allowing the Wednesbury Old canal  on the BCN to become overgrown with reeds, then advising boats it's un-navigable and not to even attempt it😥

     

    I've been up there in 2009. Honestly you are not missing anything 

     

    It had numerous brick reefs, trolleys, unpleasant silt and ends up next to a roundabout.

    Unfortunately we've called it a day at the BCLM, was great to see the few other competitors that we did.

     

    Maybe we'll try again and do more another year.

     

    Are you sending your results in?

     

    And there's food beer and banter at Withymoor- it's not far

    Tatty Lucy now here and  Delhi
