Midget gems, mini chedders & a few mini baby bell.

Don`t forget your speedo`s in case you fall in T`cut.

:lol: :lol:



Hope you have a good time Bob, some lovely places around Warwick & arriving by boat puts a whole different perspective on a place.

A car?

Apparently I drive a band wagon now.... :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

 

[Noel]

Can I hop on?

Are you going canaling on your own?

No, you would miss moderating and it's dangerous walking on the side of a boat in high heels and one of your tight dresses.

Wife, son and 2 dogs.

So Bob, thanks to the helpful people who interrupted their busy Sunday afternoons to go out of their way to offer assistance you can now make a list of what to take:

Car (minimum of 1)
Wife (1)
Child (1)
Dog (2)
Midget Gems (10 packets)
Mini Chedders (5 packets)
Mini Baby Bell (5)
Speedo swimming knickers (1)

Get a clipboard and print out your list with little boxes so you can tick each item before you depart.

Enjoy your break.

I think that's the River Severn - did that many years ago.
Enormous, deep/high locks - keep the rope loose!

Doh - I was thinking of Worcester!!

Rod

 

[Steve Maskery]

SatNav - just in case you get lost.

[Benchwayze]

Local phrase book,
Charts,
Sextant,
And a Shire in case your engine conks.

You probably won't need the first three, but they'll look good and give you summat to read, and summat to polish. 8)

iPhone, iPad, DS, PSP, portable DVD and laptop - give you a chance to really get away from it all.

Serious answer - a folding bike is very useful for someone to get ahead of the boat and get the next lock ready. Also good for fetching supplies from not so handy villages. And the easiest way to open a lock gate is to put your bum on the balance beam and walk backwards - it won't go until the level is right, but when it is, it will.

And a torch for finding your way back along the towpath after visiting the pub.
