Subject to tides, weather and the amount of "fresh" in the river, down the Severn to Gloucester docks and the Gloucester and Sharpness canal.

Cornwall (not in a boat obvs, we are dragging the 'tin snail' instead) - breaking the journey at Moreton-in Marsh in the Cotswolds. Going for two weeks not just the weekend.

Tin snail.................................................Brilliant

[patty-ann]

Undecided..it'll be last minute.com plan put into action

[Victor Vectis]

Down the South Stratford, onto the Avon, and then down the Severn to Gloucester and Sharpness, subject to the rivers behaving themselves of course.

 

A trip back up the Severn to Worcester is on the agenda too.

 

All the above is subject to alteration, up to and including the time of departure!

 

Such is the joy of owning your own boat.

Go to Cropredy in car Friday. Discover if boat, unseen since December, is still there. If so, clean same, add water and possibly go for day trip to warm engine up. Discover if Brasenose Arms, unseen since December, is still there. Return to Fens Monday.

 

...is roughly the plan!

Sometimes the best.

[LEO]

Pray for good weather, then normal ritual, wake up, have tea in bed, read telegraph 'Obits' column if no mention, realise I am alive, get up, and eventually wonder over to the boat and watch all the poor sods cruising on the canal.

 

I stay moored, they can have their fun, after all they have to be back at work shortly, I'm still on holiday.......

 

I do hope my prayers for good weather are answered .....

PS - Ooops forgot Church on Easter Sunday.

Definitely heading out - grab it when we can (him outdoors works). Not far - just along to a favourite spot with friends and their boats I expect. With much easter egg hunting and beer swilling!

Don't forget it's the Bugsworth water gala that weekend see linky http://www.buxworthgala.org/ so it might be a bit busy.

 

We are going for our traditional Easter Saturday in the Vale at Bollington. We will wave as we pass you.

As my husband works in retail, he has to work bank holidays...soooo yet another 'holiday season' spent on my own!

Going to Nantwich music festival over weekend

[ukrizla]

I had forgot about the Bugsworth Gala. So its Bollington for us and a walk up to the poachers for food and beer

[Laurie Booth]

Hope to get to the end of the arm where I moor and turn left or right.

Oh, you've spoilt the surprise!

For some reason I've never liked the Red Lion as much as the Brasenose. It's very pretty, olde-worlde and all that, which normally appeals to me.

I am the same. I never realy liked the Red Lion but always have liked the " Nose " Its often the case that the pubs further away from the canal have to try harder and thus do a better job.

Going to Nantwich music festival over weekend

We are likely to be in or around Nantwich at this time. Just looked at the website, it seems you pay to go into the venues,pubs, to see the bands. How ever prices range from about £14 to £20.

 

Are there pubs not part of this festival? Does it get really busy? Is it worth avoiding Nantwich if you are not partaking?

[Mac of Cygnet]

We'll be organising our usual egg boolin' and jarping in the field opposite the house. Followed by soup, hot cross buns. And beer.

It won't take much to try harder than the Red lion owners did... Ian .

See you there then, we should arrive Saturday lunch time, but will probably go down to the Vale

[Bunny]

Leave Aldermaston ( water levels permitting ) heading all places north , but not in one day . Avoid being run over by Devises to Westminster canoe race . Turn left when we get to the Thames .Bunny

[chazzy]

Weather permitting I hope to have a day at the Easter vintage festival at Quorn
