nb Kanbedun Again: October 2012
http://nbkanbedunagain.blogspot.com/2012_10_01_archive.html
Sunday, 21 October 2012. 11 weeks - Warwick to Stratford, Droitwich, Stourport, back to Braunston! When I last wrote in the blog on 28 July I had hoped to keep it going whilst I had visitors - but it didn't work out! Stopped that pm at Rowington - with a lovely view and enjoyed a great circular walk after a cuppa. Thursday - 8 locks to Wootten Wawen, past some lovely lock cottages and under famous split bridges. We moored just before the bridge, had a good walk in the afternoon and bought a few thing...

nb Kanbedun Again: July 2012
http://nbkanbedunagain.blogspot.com/2012_07_01_archive.html
Saturday, 28 July 2012. Braunston to Radford Semele - time to get ship shape! Set off at 9.30 next morning, Wednesday, (not as early as planned - I slept too well! My aim is to get to somewhere near Warwick where I have ex-boating friends joining me before I go down to Stratford - and yet more company/crew! That evening watched the Opening Ceremony of the Olympics - absolutely brilliant - and watched to the end at 12.50 - although I did drop off during some of the competitors entrances! I have 3 crews (b...

nb Kanbedun Again: Napton, Fenny Compton and back to Braunston
http://nbkanbedunagain.blogspot.com/2012/11/napton-fenny-compton-and-back-to.html
Thursday, 8 November 2012. Napton, Fenny Compton and back to Braunston. I knew it was the right way as I had kept seeing footprints in the thick mud! Sunday 14 - I went on round Napton Hill and up 1 lock where I could get a reasonable broadband signal. Monday - I got buses to Daventry and then Braunston to retrieve the car. In the afternoon I logged on CRT to book my winter mooring which I successfully did an hour later. Phew! Couple of dry days to carry on with jobs. Arrived 1 lock up from the bottom at...

HERETAUNGA CARAVAN CLUB Inc. A collection of like minded people who like to use their caravans, motorhomes etc on a regular basis. Tuesday, 20 December 2016. Val and Bill were celebrating their respective 70th birthdays and caravan club members joined them at their home, together with family and friends for a birthday BBQ. Also sharing birthday honours was grandson Gus, who had just turned 6. It looks rather like a caravan rally. There were sausages, chicken, and kebabs cooking away.

Narrowboat Star: June 2012
http://narrowboatstar.blogspot.com/2012_06_01_archive.html
Saturday, 30 June 2012. The Aire is clear - now! The calm after the storm: Castleford flood lock. Just a week ago towns in this part of Yorkshire were devastated by massive floods after a month's rainfall fell in just 24 hours. Castleford is where the rivers that had been overwhelmed by this deluge meet - the Calder and Hebble joining the River Aire to flow through the town. Take a look at these. A swept away ladder five feet up a post. Of all the moorings in all the world. We pulled in to a gap in the l...

Narrowboat Star: Two days in Manchester
http://narrowboatstar.blogspot.com/2012/07/two-days-in-manchester.html
Thursday, 19 July 2012. Two days in Manchester. And it's only rained on one of them! We've spent a relaxing couple of days in Castlefield Basin, right in the heart of the city. You couldn't pay to get a better location for a visit – and of course as boaters we don't have to. So I won't grumble too much about the slightly dishevelled look of the place compared to last time we were here. Some weeding and cleaning is badly needed. Manchester has always been a bright place.even when it was dark and dirty...

Narrowboat Star: July 2011
http://narrowboatstar.blogspot.com/2011_07_01_archive.html
Sunday, 31 July 2011. Stoke is so sad. I always find Stoke a fascinating but sad and sorry place to boat through. Fascinating because there are so many remnants of its old industries - the bottle kilns, the wharves, the ruined brick warehouses. Sad because that's all they are - remnants. People have told me of cruising through the town when steel furnaces spat fire along the canal and the kilns belched smoke. What a sight that must have been! Granny gets her fix. We set off at 10 am, reached Stoke on Tre...

Jacquie, determined to not let me become bored is going to allow me to build a kit car, so here goes. View my complete profile. Sunday, 23 September 2012. Well that’s it, the adventure is over; yellow marker was applied to the canal map, leaving only a very small proportion of the system which we haven’t explored. I will occasionally blog just to keep folk ...
