Planning ahead

It will soon be time to prepare n.b. GUELROSE for cruising...... all being well we will set off around the end of April for our annual 'day trip' where we meet up with friends who have hired day boats on the Ashby Canal, whilst we are away I will have to programme in van hire to transport all the bits and pieces that need to go from Barton Turns to Little Venice for Canalway Cavalcade, then back 'home' for a few days before we have to take the boat to Curdworth so our son and his mates can have a few days on the boat taking it into Birmingham and down to Warwick where we shall take it over again. Then, it will be down to London, water levels permitting, where I, with others, will be managing boats attending the Olympics, on berhalf of BW, and hopefully earning some much needed revenue for the IWA. Once we set off, I will publish regular blogs and photographs of our travels.

Back on line.......

I have not been able to access my blog for months...... and, as I am due to start serious crusing again in May this year I thought it would be useful to start blogging again.

Guess what, the access problem was all my own fault, I was using the wrong account to log into blogger. Doh!!!!!

Anyway, watch this space.... a little cruise up the Ashby Canal in May, then at the beginning of June I am setting off for London and the Olympics (where I will hopefully be able to report every couple of days), that is, if we have plenty of rain and fill the resevoirs on either the Grand Union or South Oxford Canals.
