I cannot remember why I included it in the first place, possibly because I thought it was the thing to do. It's all so out of date now that I should maybe get rid of everything bar the planner!

There are some notable boats missing, us for a start! We sent out (another) bulk email some time ago based on the email addresses we got from John Carrington for previous years entries. A disappointingly large number bounced. In addition, the BCNS website doesn't show the challenge although their Facebook page does So, if you know of other boats who are not aware of the challenge and can give them a nudge we would be very grateful Richard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers, folks. The points look a bit off to me, but maybe I'm not understanding the scoring correctly. If I plan a route from Tame Valley Junction to Pudding Green Junction your calculator gives me 26.3 points 45' boat so 1.05 points per mile Crew of three including steerer so 1.25 points per lock 2.5 miles x 1.05 = 2.625 points 8 locks x 1.25 = 10 points 12.625 x 2.5 bonus = 31.5625 points Am I counting something incorrectly?
