Just spotted 'CRANE' tied up in Cambrian Wharf.

Report received: Ryder's Green top lock, Carpe Vinum had problems keeping gate shut due to debris behind it.

[RLWP]

Well, he should clear it out then!

Albion on the move down farmers bridge locks.

Team Iona have had to rethink starts position due to late arrival of crew member.

 

Anyone else starting from the bottom of the Wolverhampton 21?

[RLWP]

Everyone!

[alan_fincher]

Everyone!

 

Hardly!

 

We have five queued up at Star City.

 

The proposal is that some of us take some of our break starting at 08:00 tomorrow morning, as we will not be going anywhere in a hurry!

Team Poppy in position outside the NIA. The first can has been opened and the stew is smelling most perfect.

We're still at Bodymoor Heath but are looking forward to our body weight in chips arriving any minute now ...

OK time to come clean, we are overnighting on the Engine Arm.

Had what I hope is our only drama of the weekend, a piece of 8x4 jamming the prop in Smethwick bottom lock.

Glad to know you are in Broad st, feel free to moor alongside "Barnet" if you feel safer, and good luck on the "challenge"

[Tom and Bex]

Star City is looking very crowded with 5 boats here! All crew now aboard, fed and watered and ready for sleep! See you all tomorrow.

[Little Else]

We will be heading up the Tame valley in an hour looking out for evil satanists and the Great Mattress.

Team Poppy waiting for the kettle to boil in a silent city centre.

Shall we merge the threads seeing as we have to keep checking both threads as some are posting in that one and some in this one?

I bet Tawny Owl is still at Broad st, Richard train spotting with his out of date Ian Allen spotters book.
