Umm . . . . .
We'd join at Tewkers on Thurs 13th, fresh from Lydney the previous
weekend < ooh . . . err . . . missus >, and leave on Sat 21st. So the
special deal will not work for us, in theory. Lord knows what the full
wallop would be !
Ref LT along-sided-ness. Thanks. We might manage to stay afloat on the
outside.
Hi Beeky and All,
If you stay on the Severn side on the 13th, before you enter the lock on the
morning of the 14th, the cheepo licence will be OK for your return 7 days
later.
Regards,
Andrew
