gatekrash Posted May 27, 2023 Report Share Posted May 27, 2023 Well we decided on the S&W. Now wishing we hadn't as Wolverhampton boat club have decided to have their bank holiday cruise and there are about 20 boats from there sat on the Bratch top moorings, which presumably will all be wanting to go the same way as us tomorrow! Looks like an early start for us then ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We've already decided to move before breakfast then stop for brunch somewhere instead. We're already thinking of the next long cruise, possibly the S Oxford as we've not been that way yet.

Graham and Jo Posted May 30, 2023 Author Report Share Posted May 30, 2023 There is a time lapse video on my Youtube Channel taken from the front of the boat from just below New Marton Locks to Llangollen Basin. Bow camera video I can never figure out how to embed these things. Cheers Graham Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just copy the link from YouTube and paste it, sometimes I have to add a space or hit enter after pasting the link and it automatically gets converted to the embedded video.

gatekrash Posted May 31, 2023 Report Share Posted May 31, 2023 We've arrived back at Droitwich this morning. Total trip for us by the time we diverted down to Worcester for a day and back up the W&B was 305 miles, 262 locks. Interestingly when we planned it Canalplan (with our defaults tweaked to match our locking average speed) reckoned that it should have taken us 156.5 hours, our engine hours on arrival back show that the total trip took us 154 hours, so pretty accurate! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
