All the photos taken during the week taken over the Thames Campaign Cruise "Save our Waterways"

Pictorial record of a walk around the newly finished Paddington Basin development.

A rather selective record of our Easter trip along the Llangollen Canal into North Wales.

After reaching the head of navigation on the Thames, we retraced our steps to Oxford where Chloe & Rob left and I was joined by Tom. Then our ttrail winds up the Southern Oxford Canal to join the Grand Union and thence to Birmingham and then on again to Burton-on-Trent

After our participation in the Guildford Boat Gathering we moved on to Bristol. There was some urgency in our journey as MF had to be in Bristol on the next Saturday week for a medical school reunion. The journey takes us down the River Wey to the Thames, then on to Reading before joining the Kennet & Avon Canal to Bristol. Altogether this is 151 miles and 135 locks. This photo shows Cliveden House overlooking the Thames just north of Maidenhead.

Some photos taken by Nuggler's Crew whilst attending the Cutweb Rally at Napton Top Lock in September 2005. The Cutweb Internet Boating Club (CIBC) is a virtual club whose members communicate via the internet. CIBC is affiliated to the Association of Waterway Cruising Clubs.

We join a number of other boats, under the banner of the National Association of Boat Owners, to cruise in company down the Bristol Channel from Sharpness, at the end of the Gloucester and Sharpness Canal, to Portishead and then on the next tide up the river Avon to the Port of Bristol.
