Up the Medway and then on to our minor tributory the Thames.
Last programme in series.?
 
any good?

I have posted a bit about it in the lounge.

It is what it is, written by Shane its in two parts tandem to one another, one long bit about the boat the other about the illness..

I got a bit frustrated when they went to the barrier from Brentford and commented on Richmond but I guess I need to accept its written for a wider audience!

What it does do is give you the complete background on how they got into it, why and when (2006) and how the boat really was bare and they actually used a road map to start with!

I dont read a lot of books unless they are of interest to me (geographically) and this one is starting to do the trick.

About 12.99 I think which was nothing on the total Waterstones bill after the current Mrs S had finished her shopping...
 
Wonder if Matilda has got Red diesel in her tank ?

"Erm I guess so as they have completed the circumnavigation..."



Rumour has it the reason the boat is not taking part in the QUEENJUB event,is that it is in Ramsgate possibly awaiting further adventures to the east. ?

They were interviewed on telly a few days ago and confirmed that they intended to do another trip. Didn't specify where or when.
 
Just watched the last bit on Iplayer,thoroughly enjoyed the whole thing especially the Medway "event",had no idea they had spent so much time at MDL Chatham to start with.
Just deciding as to wether to claim "appearance" money for the house.:)
