Easenhall, again.

[James Owen]

Easenhall cutting closed again, a tree has come down blocking the channel.

 

CRT are aware....

[Graham and Jo]

Rats might not be going to Coventry after all. Probably have to turn at the entrance to Brinklow Marina as we are currently moored at Newbold.

 

Cheers Graham

Stoppage notice said contractors were going to be deployed as soon as possible, hopefully not a long stoppage as we were planning on heading back that way in a few days.

[David Mack]

Now open.

Good news as having to divert via the GU back to Fazeley wasn't high on our to do list.

Down to Cov basin is ok these days, first time I ever went that way I sat on the bows spotting TVs, fridges, etc so dad could avoid them.

It's definitely been waaaay better since Charlie visited, there's still a few bridges where we drifted through without power though, just in case

My fears of Cov are based on what Cov was like  the best part of half a century ago. 
it’s well time I got over it 😃

We were plesently surprised last August. The local Riley car club was having a rally. The moorings are safe and services clean and tidy. And the pubs are great 👍

[beerbeerbeerbeerbeer]

Great stuff,

more likely I’ll lower the tone then,

Any recommendation on pubs?

Ace, I’ve another week in Paddington then I’ll make way. It’s great here for the 14 day moorings with no extra charge. 
(Lucky to get on one mind, but they do exist)

 

I guess it’s an age thing, I simply remember the 70’s early 80’s with the crap grass, litter and violence, and that’s how I think of Cov. 
Which is now most likely very unfair.
