Anybody interested in a trip down the Witham Drains

Would anybody in the Witham/Trent area be interested in a trip to New York or Boston down the Witham Navigable Drains in May after the Sleaford Gathering on the 3-6 May.

I'm sure there are a few rats that'd be interested.

You might find the weed a problem if the warm weather continues. We did them in mid April a few years ago and some of the smaller drains were already choked up.

Yes so did we. Neither of us had a weed problem then, but unlike most of the other IDB's, 4IDB do not make the waterway available until after 1st May, which was our downfall. This needs to be changed, as you suggest the weed comes up PDQ after mid April. It's now got cold again so hopefully all will be well.
