So are you finally in the n*rth or still planning lines of attack for
the assault?!
Will look forward to your observations as I'm off up that way later this

Subject: Gloucestershire & Herefordshire IWA Meeting
The next Gloucestershire & Herefordshire Branch IWA Meeting takes place
on Thursday 4 May.
Ian Jarvis, General Manager of British Waterways South West, will be
speaking on:
"BW SW - State of the Nation", followed by "Any Questions"
Come along to get an update on what's happening in the Southwest. Ian's
patch includes the Kennet and Avon Canal, the Gloucester and Sharpness
Canal, the River Severn and will eventually include the refurbished
Cotswold Canals.
Both members and non-members are welcome. Free entry.
The meeting starts at 19:30 at the National Waterways Museum, Gloucester
Docks
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Forthcoming event: Thursday 1 June at 19:00
Martin Hudson of the Leominster Canal Society will be conducting a tour
by foot and by car of:
Highlights of the Leominster Canal
The meeting point is at grid reference SO510615, about two miles North
of Leominster on the A49 (look for the large lay-by on the left, about
half a mile past the A4112 junction at Stockton Cross). The visit will
include the remains of the Teme aqueduct, destroyed during World War 2
to hinder the advance of German troops.
The walking component will be short but it may be muddy underfoot, so
come appropriately shod. Dogs on leads are welcome but may have to be
lifted over stiles. The visit will conclude at a pub for chat and
socialising. This is a joint meeting with the Leominster Canal Society.
Both members and non-members are welcome. No charge. Enquiries to 07913
261030.

It looks like Swinford Toll Bridge, just above Eynsham Lock, but I

Agreed, that's Swinford.
There's a campaign to make it just 'Swinford Bridge' at the moment:

Much the same could be said about Whitchurch toll bridge - the owners
want to close it for 3 months for a complete overhaul....!

Swinford had its complete overhaul a few years ago... hasn't improved the
traffic a bit, sadly.
But the alternatives are so bad that half of West Oxfordshire still uses the
bridge to get
south...

Subject: Re: Moorings on the BCN
I have had mixed experiences in Gas Street. I moored on about four
different times on the little arm by the 'James Brindley' pub and had quite
quiet nights. Next time I came back they had discovered Karioke aka 'I'll
maim that tune in one'. It was just about tolerable until the local drunk
took on 'Mustang Sally'. At that point we relocated to outside the Indoor
Arena which was a good mooring, quiet and no bother.
We have moored at the top of the 21 with no problems, although it is a
little noisy from the trains.

Just round the corner from there are a whole lot of visitor moorings,
running from Cambrian Wharf (at the top of Farmer's Bridge locks) to the
main line at Old Turn Junction, then along the main line for some way, and a
few in the beginning of the Oozells Street loop. I'd guess that in June
you'd be likely to find plenty of spaces among that lot. We spent quite a
lot of time there this winter, and they are all safe moorings. The
recommended pub in the area is the Prince of Wales, just behind the
International Covention Centre (also just behind the "Firkin & Flapper" on
Camrian Wharf, a decidedly inferior pub in my view).

The anoying toll bridge in my area is the Warburton Toll bridge.
Some people think they are paying to go over the MSC bridge but
that is free.
The toll is for a small bridge just after the MSC & doesn't have anything
underneath it. It was the old river bed before the canal was built & has
been
filled in for 112 years.

Not perhaps a bad thing from my side since I'm out of the country most of

It's easy - you just take a photo as you jump off.

But if you meant the one showing the side of the boat - that would have
been taken with the camera held out at arm's length.
Rob and Marlane show that some Americans have a somewhat confused idea
of history and scale, describing the Pontcysyllte Aqueduct as "A
magnificent soaring Roman structure hundreds of feet about the River
Dee".

Subject: RE: Ponty whatsit photograph
I understand that Steev http://www.peakbusiness.co.uk/canalpages affixed his
camera to a broom and used the delay timer to take a picture of his hireboat
crossing the aqueduct. Not sure whether the picture is on his site as I
haven't time to search.
