Time to think about finishing those winter servicing tasks and put everything back together for the years cruising.

First will be a few days shakedown, to Warwick and back with Penny. We are intending to leave Ventnor Farm on 23rd April for this.

Then the big one! Up to Birmingham, down to Gloucester, River Severn to Bristol, K & A to Reading, down to London to check out the Thames Barrier, then to Slough via the Regents Canal and Paddington Arm, then back onto the Thames at Brentford, up to Oxford and home. Seven weeks, a multitude of crew, can't wait.
