As the Bridgewater Canal may be out of use for a while until the breach can be secured I decided to cancel the idea of a trip to Liverpool. A temporary fix is probably going to be made using a coffer dam as I understand, but there is too much hanging on the idea of this trip, with a lot of planning, booking etc., that I thought it wise to go for a simpler journey. So a visit to London is proposed. I attach below a link to the timetable for this. As always, guests are welcome. Just let me know in good time so that I don't over shoot. My daughter (Chloe) and family will be likely to join the boat at Berkhamsted and make the journey with me to Limehouse. Tides look right for a morning ride down the Thames. The journey back will be slightly more leisurely with good opportunities for short stays.
