Laurie Booth Posted June 5, 2011 Report Share Posted June 5, 2011 I think Sue waved to you. We're fairly harmless - as long as you aren't holding us up at locks.... Richard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nine of Hearts Posted June 5, 2011 Report Share Posted June 5, 2011 I'd like to thank you both for setting the locks for us going down the Ryders Green locks, it was a big help. You might be wondering why we didn't catch you up in the flight. We got stuck in the first lock and had to get BW out to free us (Two hours delay). We had a great time over the weekend and hope to do it next year. Saw Team Tawny Owl in the pub and regret not introducing ourselves. You're very welcome. We did wonder what had happened to you, I assumed you'd stopped for a spot of lunch. I never thought for a minute you'd be stuck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nine of Hearts Posted June 6, 2011 Report Share Posted June 6, 2011 I followed that hat all the way down the Walsall Canal! 'pologies if'n we held you up. I had half a mind to pole the bugger along at some points. I think the best way to negotiate the Walsall would be to be towed by a Landrover.

I think the best way to negotiate the Walsall would be to be towed by a Landrover. Rumour has it that next year you will be able to be towed but by slightly older technology as they will allow horse drawn boats, so you just need to grab one of those little horses you see tethered on the Curly Wurly - well at least to my inexperienced eye they look like they could fit through a bridge hole. I am not sure if even our supply of dog c*&p bags will be enough. I think they should also introduce a negative bonus points for springers :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
john6767 Posted June 6, 2011 Report Share Posted June 6, 2011 I got an email with our placing yesterday, we came 6th. Anyone else going to own up to where they came? I don't know where the points total that they got comes from though it's (a little bit) more than I thought, and includes fractional points and the only thing that I can see will give that is draught bonus and I find it hard to believe we were measured as 26in. Although draught bonus still does not make the points tally. The winner has way more points than us though, and fractional again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought I had lost you when I had to make two trips down the weed hatch but then caught you up when your prop wash started to look like a washing machine. You didn't hold us up a bit. 10 mins later we caug ht the dreaded mattress of the Tame Valley - now that really did hold us up! No, we've heard nothing Richard Nor me..... email address?

RichardN Posted June 6, 2011 Report Share Posted June 6, 2011 (edited) I'm bantering at Lapworth this weekend, so I won't be at Pelsall either. Perhaps Andrew on Dove will do the honours Richard I will report - I will be there on Saturday but without Sue as her choir is singing that day and with less dogs then usual as a festival will be too much for Jelly Boy, Greyhound #2, Lynx, cut open a pad on some glass in Walsall Basin on Saturday so he is on a 10 day exercise ban. Greyhound #1, Lou, on the other hand will enjoy tarting up to people so she can come. I sort of have a vain hope of getting home on Saturday but the experience of a quick cup of tea with Malus & Atlas last Saturday suggests that could be wishful thinking.
