wrigglefingers Posted May 28, 2016 Report Share Posted May 28, 2016 Flat out to Birchills ... Weedhatch visits 5 ... Wooden aquaplane issue resolved by judicious use of keb. Team Leggitt and legs of Leggitt cool off after 18 miles Star City to Tipton, via Wednesbury Oak Loop. Support boat (the Cat) now arrived and moored at Tipton. Rehydration underway in the Fountain. Pie Factory awaits... A Good Day of Challenging. Enjoy your evening/night boating/drinking :-) Terrific work, Teams Leggit and Cat. Have a lovely time at the Pie Factory.

Dave_P Posted May 28, 2016 Report Share Posted May 28, 2016 Outstanding! Why thank you! I started on the ale at noon. Since arriving at Ma's, I've tried the Bumblehole, the Entire and now I have a cheeky pint of NPA to partake of. To say I was both drunk and happy would be an understatement on both counts.

Eleven of us once drank two and a half barrels of Bumblehole at a Christmas Party at the Bondage Whorehouse. Then we started out n the Batham's. Fine times, I think my liver is still in Purgatory though. My daughter is very fond of Entire, the beer with balls, as she calls it, but then she's a headbanger ... See you there tomorrow, or have you taken up residence for ever? Team Red Wharf were heading towards the Vine. They're unlikely to leave early too!

Little Else Posted May 29, 2016 Report Share Posted May 29, 2016 (edited) Good morning. TRW at Merry Hell drinking tea and wondering how to piss off guy who ran genny 'till 11pm.

Graham and Jo Posted May 29, 2016 Report Share Posted May 29, 2016 Got up too late(5.30) so plan has changed slightly. Had some racial abuse with threatened violence from a gang of youths at Walsall top lock yesterday. Not nice, sister was quite scared.

Dave_P Posted May 29, 2016 Report Share Posted May 29, 2016 I came through Gosty Hill tunnel just before 9. There was a boat behind me. Two hours later and they're still not at Hawne. Strange. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mrs Trackman Posted May 29, 2016 Report Share Posted May 29, 2016 Although I am not taking part, I love the banter on this thread, keep it going. agree. sounds such fun. family meant I found myself in legoland and had to make do with their excellent lego models so reading about the challenge is some consolation.
