-- ------------------------------------ >Dave J >In sunny Braunston Last S3eptember we did Jarnac to Angouleme (the head of navigation), Angouleme to the lock before the tidal bit (the river was very muddy and the tide clealy coming over the weir quite strongly, we went back upriver), then back to Jarnac.
