Six-cylinder Posted January 4, 2020 Author Share Posted January 4, 2020 A little trip out this afternoon with Mrs6C just before the light failed to view the Buckingham Canal Society's new work barge Louise at Cosgrove. Mrs6C had seen it before as she crewed for it when it first set off from Brentford up the grand union canal, pushed my tug boat Woodcock. We took the 306 Cab as while it has been a low mileage week with me grounded for one of the days due to alcohol it is currently my go to car. I have had it for a week now and done 170 miles and today it turned 111,111 miles but we were not in a safe place to stop so Mrs6C just grabbed a shot while we were driving.

Mrs6C Posted January 4, 2020 Share Posted January 4, 2020 Teal has had a go in the rewatered bit already. She only needs 12" to float freely, so we popped her in there for the BCS Canal Rally in 2018, to promote the restoration work on this stretch of the Old Stratford canal. This is how she got there...

Zelandeth Posted January 5, 2020 Share Posted January 5, 2020 Slightly different beast to the only boat I've piloted so far (unless an Alvis Stalwart counts?). Doesn't half shift once it gets up on the plane... Mrs6C 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mrs6C Posted January 5, 2020 Share Posted January 5, 2020 1 hour ago, Eyersey1234 said: I didn't know you had a boat as part of the fleet @Mrs6C Yes, about ten years now. The theme of plastic transport with a steering wheel isn't confined to just road vehicles! @Six-cylinder and I like canals and industrial history so being able to enjoy them from the water from time to time is nice. We like to explore the isolated canals and be able to travel further than a few miles away from base. A trailboat met these needs better than a regular steel narrowboat. She lives on a trailer in a friend's farmyard when not in use, although has featured at the FoD this year too.

Teal has been to many more than I have, with previous owners, but counting those I have done with her: England: Grand Union, including the Aylesbury, Northampton and Buckingham arms; River Nene; Oxford; Kennet & Avon; Somersetshire Coal Canal; most of the navigable extent of the four levels of the Birmingham Canal Navigations (BCN) (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Birmingham_Canal_Navigations) including the 'not really navigable' parts of the Titford Pools, Tat Bank branch and Cape arm that other boats cannot reach ; Lancaster main line and the isolated Northern Reaches, also a bit of the Ribble Link (Savick Brook basin!); Thames & Severn/Stroudwater Navigation; Ashby main line and isolated Moira Furnace section Wales: Monmounthshire & Brecon main line; Neath; Tennant Scotland: Forth & Clyde; Union; Falkirk Wheel link Some I have done by canoe: England: Grand Union Brownsover loop in Rugby and Buckingham arm; Bridgwater & Taunton; Grand Western; Wales: Monmounthshire & Brecon Crumlin Arm By other boat: England: River Thames; Grand Union; River Brent; Bridgwater & Taunton including Bridgwater docks; Grand Western; Bristol docks Wales: Llangollen There are probably a few others I have forgotten and of course there are many more that haven't yet been done... The BCN was amazing.
