Last year, James and I competed in the BCN Challenge with a bunch of other crazy boaters, attempting to navigate around as much of Birmingham's 100 miles of waterways as possible in 24 hours (30 hours in total with a 6 hour rest stop). It was brilliant fun, despite the 3am start on the Sunday morning and ever since, we've been keen to do it again this year -on the 2nd and 3rd June. Last year, we hired the Large Northwich Yeoford, which was very successful - it sleeps 12 in fairly basic but comfortable accommodation and it is a lovely old boat. We hope to hire it again this year, and are looking for crew - at least 9 more needed! It cost about £50 each for the boat hire, and we all clubbed together for food, making it not only a great weekend of boating, but a fairly cheap adventure too. Anyone keen, do get in touch!

Amy,
ReplyDeleteThat's a great offer - I have emailed you.
Jim (Starcross)
And I have emailed back :D
DeleteThat's a wonderful offer - if only we could be in two places at once!
ReplyDeleteHave a great time - we'll look forward to the blog!
Sue, nb indigo Dream
But you've got far more exciting things to be doing - her majesty is relying on you!
DeleteIt crosses my mind that this boating malarkey really is getting under my skin as I seriously considered offering you my services as galley slave for the event. Andy can't accommodate me as his previous crew are assembled and I have a fair to attend (business launch, exciting stuff!). Sincerely hope you get your crew and that we actually get to meet this time!
ReplyDeleteSorely tempted, just need a few days to think about it, whatabout acommodating a dog too?
ReplyDeleteI don't know about dogs, would have to ask the hire company. If you are keen, let me know and I'll contact the company. No hurry to decide!
Delete~Same Question about the Dogs;
DeleteDogs are welcome, apparently!
