Does anyone know if it's possible to get to Gloucester Docks in a boat with masts?
I was looking on Google Earth which was obviously photographed on THE day of sunshine last year, since they now have a 2007 version. I followed the route from Sharpness up to Gloucester and it looks as though every bridge swings open, but I don't know for sure.
Bev and I were toying with making it a long-weekend cruising destination to add to our sailing CV. Never done Sharpness before as I'm frightened of the bit from the SSC onwards. We usually do a hard right into Bristol or Portishead.
Any passage planning suggestions gratefully received, ad if we do it, I'll give a debrief here on the forum on our return.
Hope everyone's OK. I haven't been on here for a while. Just dusting off the keyboard for a contribution.
Take care all,
Lizzy D
