Call for temporary crew - one or two days from Sun

[Arnot]

Gaffer (see history and heritage section of forum) is now just south of the Braunston Tunnel and waiting for the next hop.

 

The trouble is... all the crew except Marek have been struck by the lurgy so there is a shout for crew for Sunday and Monday if anyone wants an interesting trip. One helper would work, two would be better, particularly when it gets stuck on shallows.

 

There is no accomodation on this boat (unless you don't mind a sleeping bag in the pan) but there is a pub lunch thrown in.

 

Any takers pleae ring Marek on "oh seven eight eight six five oh five one eight nine"

 

Regards

sorry can't help as committed to the wey and arun on sundays, the run south from Stoke is fairly easy to singlehand i have done it many times just take your time through the locks and you will find you are at the bottom in no time setting the next lock ahead is key to a swift passage.

Isn't Buckby closed?

Quite right, according to Waterscape it's now closed until 11th March.

 

I've just called Marek to let him know. He had intended to be past the stoppage before it began, but got delayed, so now he's going to have to re-plan for after then.
