Just out of Interest ?

[oldgit]

Have "friend" who may be visiting the Thames later this month, anything he ought to know, is it busy, have they got a Pound shop in Henley etc etc any other forumites cruising plans would be useful in order to stay out of their way.

Does he own a narrowboat? If he does, please tell him that we have our quota for the year and the EA aren't letting anymore in

Not much water above Abingdon apparently!

 

[prof pat pending]

Even less above Osney (if he can pass under the prat filter)

 

[Freeman30]

No problem above Oxford, 7 boats from UTMYC have reached Lechlade and are now returning with no problems with depth.

Goodness me Prof you appear to have insulted every boat owner below Osney bridge! Brave man :ambivalence:

 

[prof pat pending]

I didn't give it the name....it's been called that for longer than I've been boating

Although I'm pretty sure that it refers to those that have tried and failed rather than to those that own a boat too large to pass

We've had a bit of rain, which has helped

Portmedow was shallow and full of weed a couple of weeks ago
