Midlands Boat Jumble

[Pete735]

We went today for the first time in years, that wind in the car park must have come direct from the arctic, that was cold. Tea at £2.00 a cup shook me, but on the plus side I got an extendable boat hook for a tenner, a couple of new fenders for £20.00 (special deal as the chap was packing up and I offered £20.00 to save him loading them back on his trailer, advertised at £26.00 the pair) and some blue mooring rope and a brand new Lewmar winch handle for £15.00, particularly pleased with that. All in all well worth a visit as far as I was concerned.

Non taken, I lived there in another life, always getting my leg pulled....

Also attended and thought it was better than the last couple of years. Lots of stuff from a recon beta engine to a boathook, and lots in between. Had a big mooring rope for a tenner, new horseshoe buoy and a couple of new buoyancy aids for the kayak we are yet to buy. Price for a coffee was scandalous but the Arctic winds necessitated a hot bevarage, particularly as I left me hat at home!
