Yeah, I dont have our paper work with me, but crudely from memory i beleave the A/B/C/D/E mooring are along the GU towpath, starting from the junction geting further away. Then W/X/Y/Z (or somthing like that) are on the StaffWorcs towpath, two each side of the Junction. And then as Bruce says 'S' moorings are on the 'offside' of the GU against the site itself. We're on the GU, towpath side, opersite the site, roughly. But yeah, looking fed to it. The boats currently at Norbury Jn and will be steaming down the last leg on the friday, and i will be joining it in the early evening as soon as i get off work. Fingars crossed for the weather, hopefully plenty of people from here and cwf will pop in and say hi! Anyone know if theres going to be a lit-boats parade again and if so what night? Would very much like to join in if we can. Daniel. SNB EmilyAnne.
