Hi, We followed the bank of the Flash right around, passing the sailing club close in on our right hand side. Going up to the top and then back down the other side. As I said before the trick is to keep to the outside, temptation is to think of the centre of an area of water as the deepest, here it does not work due to silt. So unless you are in a dingy keep to the outside edge. Oak draws 30 inches and the water was at normal levels so there is sufficient depth in the right place. We went up onto the flash, cruised around it and then went back through the vegetation and moored on the straight just before the lock back down overnight. P.S. If you want to do it, but are afraid of grounding, (i.e. want to watch an idiot like me run aground :-( ) Then we are going back there on a September cruise, unless the Weaver is flooding. All the best, Martin Reed. Oak and Ash Hotel Boats www.reedboats.co.uk
