john6767 Posted May 27, 2016 Report Share Posted May 27, 2016 Braunston?Hum, it's actuall good in Braunston these days. But no, we are on the BCN. I've just been given permission to reveal our super secret location. <Fanfare> Red Wharf, Tawny Owl and The Cat Who Walks By Himself are at............. Star City! It must be a banter, there has been singing. There is talk of 'genting', whatever that is. Just realised you said the Cat is there, that can't be true there are locks, did the boat come by road?

Victor Vectis Posted May 27, 2016 Report Share Posted May 27, 2016 Deepfields? After all it's a triple word score location. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
guelrose Posted May 27, 2016 Report Share Posted May 27, 2016 Guelrose is 'almost' in her starting position.... Been here since noon, only trouble is two other challengers are her as well and they are below the locks, we have to turn, reverse down the lock, take a photo and then come back up the lock. One crew member is crashed out already, I am here and the rest are still in the pub!! What time are we supposed to be starting in the morning? p.s. How do I post a photo.....?

Ange Posted May 28, 2016 Report Share Posted May 28, 2016 I'm a bit of an impulse person. Reading this thread last night I thought sod it we'll get Iona there. Then checked it out on canal plan. Humph - impulsiveness and narrow boating don't work well together. Have fun folks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rob-M Posted May 28, 2016 Report Share Posted May 28, 2016 A couple of early movers gone past us this morning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Odana Posted May 28, 2016 Report Share Posted May 28, 2016 Lots of movement at Star City as boats jostle for the off. Captain Cat has survived RedWharf's attempt to sabotage his challenge with over-large gins last night, and the Orca and Richard are still loved up. Team Leggitt has discovered a flaw in their cunning walking plan ... Mooring on offside is not conducive to starting walk on towpath side. We will have to cadge a lift for the first 10 feet.

Dave_P Posted May 28, 2016 Report Share Posted May 28, 2016 Good luck everyone. The weather looks ok, a fine day's boating ahead. May your props never be fouled and may your windlasses turn smoothly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
