matty40s Posted July 27, 2010 Report Share Posted July 27, 2010 I'm not on holiday yet, but after viewing all the threads about the Thames - have decided that I've got to do it on my hols in late August. My insurance company says I don't need extra cover unless going past the Barrier (might pay for that privilege though after seeing the Barking Creek Blog recently).....and I'm fed up of watching the Finchers youtube vid of their cruise. I took the day off to sort a few bits out and decided to start cruising now!! so today it was Berkhamstead to Croxley Green, was going to be Rickmansworth but the rain came down after Cassiobury and after 9 long hours, I'd had enough. It was slow going with most locks set against me. The Winkwell swing bridge needed 50p for the electric meter and took a while to get fixed. Cassiobury park is really nice, might moor there on the way back, and Cassiobury Bridge wharf/marina seems just up my street. If I finish work early enough tommorow, I may do Ricky in the evening, otherwise it's the weekend. I will upload a few photo's at work tommorow.

alan_fincher Posted July 27, 2010 Report Share Posted July 27, 2010 .....and I'm fed up of watching the Finchers youtube vid of their cruise. I'm not aware that anyone is forcing you to watch it repeatedly! Bad news for you then, anyway...... If things work out, we could be doing the re-make in a few days time.

If things work out, we could be doing the re-make in a few days time. No one forced me, it's brill, and it's made me want to do it too!! Don't forget long life batteries this time......... Sue, you've got a fair walk on now!, I've been anywhere from Leighton Buzzard to Kings Langley in the last 12 months, although Berko is in the middle and gets me more often Edited July 28, 2010 by matty40s Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
