Date - 21 Aug 06 Day - Monday Start - Radcot 13.40 End - Below New Bridge 1800
Well we had a great weekend at The Swan at Radcot. We were on an island just below Radcot bridge opposite The Swan public house. The organisers of the weekend did a great job, hiring in a marquee from the scouts and a large tent to house the beer. On the Friday night we started proceedings with a fish and chip supper and were then entertained by our old friend Bruce Peckett. On the Saturday 4 of us took our boats on a cruise to Lechlade with those without coming as passengers, 6 of us managed a picnic on the common but the rest nipped off to the tea rooms in town. We returned to Radcot for a DIY BBQ before the main entertainment for the weekend began, a trio called "Isambarde" who do a wide range of folk music. On the Sunday the day started with an auction, the highest bid of £100 for being the first person to sponsor Ian to run in next years London Marathon, mind you, in the course of the weekend he relived more of us of a few quid. Following the auction 20 of us had lunch over at the Swan before returning to the site for general socialising and chatting. In the evening we all had a take away meal before the quiz. The weekend was rounded off by some of the attendees entertaining us again lead by Bruce. This morning was spent packing everything away and returning the site to how we found it, saying goodby to all our friends and our guests, by then it was lunch time so we set off about 13 44 heading down stream towards Beale Park. The river was very quiet and we stopped at a couple of locks to fill with water and empty the loo tank. We moored at 6 pm at the same spot we moored at on Sunday 13th. -- Brian <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Visit my Web site at http://www.harnser.info Yahoo!
