Our plan has always been to cruise as much of the network as possible. It’s one reason why Waiouru was built 58’6” long. Last night I started thinking about the cruising we have completed to date and thought it might be nice to show it pictorially. After a short search I took a screen dump of Jim Shead’s Waterway Map and then imported it into my photography program. This enabled me to colour over those canals and rivers we have cruised on Waiouru.
This year we plan to include the Thames, Lee, Stort, Wey and Kennet & Avon. We might just take a pilot and go up the Severn from Bristol to Sharpness. More research and planning required!

Hi Tom,
I like that image.
Good to see and try and recall when you traveled each bit.
I'm certainly looking forward to the in's and out's of the Sharpness trip not sure I've seen anyone do it upstream??
Ah I have here.

So that's this year so that leaves one or the other out of the Staffy or the Worcester & Brum if the Sharpness trip comes off.
The Stratford south & Avon.
Llangollen & Monty.
Lancaster. Huddersfield Narrow!
I may have this wrong but did I read your not over fussed about doing the Nene etc. and the Trent??
So the Fossdyke,Chesterfield, Sheffield won't be on the to d list.
Must be a couple years left there??
As always a good read.
