Odana Posted May 23, 2015 Report Share Posted May 23, 2015 Team Poppycat started at the Manor. Despite this half the crew were on the move at 825. Glad I'm not at Hockley Port as I don't think anyone told the residents and its very tight to turn round in there! I can imagine the abuse from one or two residents....

Graham and Jo Posted May 23, 2015 Report Share Posted May 23, 2015 We went for a wander round some loops before going down Farmer's Bridge, no queue popped into Typhoo basin and have had a little assistance from the guys doing community service. They were nice chaps and interested in the locks and the challenge. Just going up Perry Bar. Cheers Graham Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
