Mooresey Posted February 24, 2014 Report Share Posted February 24, 2014 Off for our first trip this year, start out week today. Monday - Friday, hope it doesn't tip it down, the dog doesn't like the rain and he can't sit on the back if it is. Will be taking the usual clothing for all occasions, t-shirts, jumpers, coats, wet weather gear. No such thing as the wrong weather, just the wrong clothing.

Naughty Cal Posted February 24, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 24, 2014 You are going to need boarding planks for the Tyrwhitt NC We plan to run the bows into the bank leaving the sterns across the river. Will probably tie the end boats stern line to the bridge to stop them swinging round but we should then be able to get on and off from the bows of the boats, well that's the theory anyway !

Barry Posted February 24, 2014 Report Share Posted February 24, 2014 That's interesting. No doubt there'll be photographs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Timleech Posted February 24, 2014 Report Share Posted February 24, 2014 I don't know the spot, but I'm guessing that not many boats will be wanting to get past while you're there? (one is bound to turn up just as you've got settled in the pub, though ) Tim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Naughty Cal Posted February 25, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 25, 2014 It's safe to say nothing will be coming through the bridge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Naughty Cal Posted February 25, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 25, 2014 There will still be room for those to get round us. Although even they will be unlikely if the weed boom is in place! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
