Going, Going, Gone pretty much sums up our lives at the moment. I took pity on them and suggested that they may like to suss out the local pub and see if there was any chance of seeing the end of the Six Nations Rugby Tournament. Fortunately, I was sat next to the table set aside for payment so I settled within 10 mins and was in the...

Captain Ahab's Watery Tales. An on line logbook of watery wanderings. The Other 60 Miles of the BCN. Although not directly connected with the Inland Waterways, I do enjoy watching films on the big screen and part of the enjoyment is the reflection on what I have seen after the event. I therefore found myself getting into a bit of a habit of reviewing films and the end results can be accessed from the list below. Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows. The Next Three Days.

Captain Ahab's Watery Tales. An on line logbook of watery wanderings. The Other 60 Miles of the BCN. Friday, 27 February 2015.

Of course, I work in Birmingham most days but I rarely have the time to stop and look at the cityscape which surrounds me. Main alter window - Birmingham Cathedral. Windows to the left and right at Birmingham Cathedral. Western window - Birmingham Cathedral. So what you get is a baroque c...

http://captainahabswaterytales.blogspot.com/p/canal-festivals.html
Captain Ahab's Watery Tales. An on line logbook of watery wanderings. The Other 60 Miles of the BCN. Like the British weather, Canal Festivals are a fickle thing. Their fortunes rise and fall, some years they make an appearance and on others they don't and then there are the attendance levels. The following is a far from complete list of festivals which are of particular interest to us:. Alvecote Floating Market,. Atherstone - Coventry Canal. Organisers : Roving Traders Association. Late May bank holiday.

After several days of glorious weather we awoke on Thursday to forecasts of high winds and driving rain - perfect conditions for an ascent of the Tardebigge flight of locks, the longest flight on the system. As it turned out Barry was at a loose end and very generously offered to cycle down and help us up, rain not withstanding. Links to other waterways sites.

Captain Ahab's Watery Tales: May 2015

Captain Ahab's Watery Tales. An on line logbook of watery wanderings. The Other 60 Miles of the BCN. Thursday, 28 May 2015. If I am honest The Crick Festival isn't an event I rush attend. Great if you want to look at boats but not really my cup of tea as just an attendee. Our first visit was about seven years ago when we zipped in and out for an afternoon. OK but not great. Messrs Denney and Cowling. Of all the boats we saw, two stood out for very different reasons. For me the boat of the show was a day ...
