Spring Bank Holiday - part two

Just got back from ringing practice at St Johns in Brinklow. Tonight was very special, as all of us (those who are learning new stuff anyway), made great headway. Audrone gained good ground on the 4th; Tim R did well in getting to lead on the treble and I managed to get through some courses of plain hunt without prompting - an then managed to ring treble for two courses of Plain Bob (with prompting from Emily). It gives me a little confidence in that old dogs can learn new tricks.

Late it is now, so for the time being, I am going to summarise this posting and finish it tomorrow:

  • inconsiderate bastards

  • hi-jinks at Braunston

  • we meet a neighbour exiting Braunston Tunnel

  • The Admiral Nelson is back on line (real, not virtual)

  • A short reminiscence from this time 12 years ago
Just the one image to go on with . . but this may be replaced tomorrow:


BRAUNSTON

CRUISING

YACHT

CLUB

Come aboard and:

  • Explore the Braunston Tunnel - only six locks and a mile to the east
  • Go right at the junction and cruise the 10 miles to rugby
  • Take in the Warwickshire countrysied under the romance of sail
  • If the desire takes you, turn left at the junction and explore the beauty of Napton's nine narrow locks under sail
  • Negotiate Fenny Compton Tunnel in wide beam comfort

At least those huge fenders would help if a narrowboat should bump you as you swept majestically past. (That's enough sailing nonsense - ED).

Right goodnight!!
