Walton Backwaters, Dan. As well as the beautiful setting, you'll be joined by seals and have the challenges and quite strong tidal flows, if you fancy a bit of coastal practice.
In any case, what an epic trip.
Less aquatic adventures for me today as I'm off to Cambridge to swap a spanky new Vantage which annoys me (delight to drive, crappy Merc interior tech, so many bloody warning bells that you want to get out and kick its ****) for my one which doesn't.

Well he's still got use of his fingers, unless his dying post is on SM with his nose

Actually not as expensive a buy as expected, included carbon fibre paddles and mid range gear and a bigger boat than I expected to buy! I went with a Perception but a Carolina as opposed to the Sundance I was looking at. Going to need a roofrack now for sure.
Thanks all for the wonderful support, it is very much appreciated and won’t hurt your wallets for almost two years!

Hi guys, I drew the short straw and will support Laurel and Hardy to the Med. Being forced to spend the best part of 6 weeks behind enemy lines will be trying but I’ll have to grin and bear it. Having said that, I’ll take the odd opportunity to throw rocks at them from the bank in order to stimulate any flagging effort on their part and any flagging spirit on my part, so I’ll make the best of it. I think Operation Cockleshell would be a good name for the adventure, as we have a couple of heroes (Me and Newton) carrying it out.

When I speed read 'bigger boat' and 'sundance' I though for a split second you had bought a 'Sea ray Sundance'. Would be a good support craft though!

My pockets are not that deep or daft enough!
Got home and have gone through the safety gear and ‘fitting’ it to my bulk!
It is all a ruse Benny to get you speaking French....

Yes thank you,
I only meant Recovery from Alcohol.
I am now fine - the kindness of strangers
However maybe missing in action for a week as off on travels to Chorley and Paris next week

That is rather agreeable.
The sound must be in the BennyD spectrum!

Currently visiting my Dad's, and this afternoon thought that twin electric outboards would better than one! (he had a spare)
My Dad couldn't stop laughing, went rather well but the twin batteries for 24V didn't last long!!

Was rather odd wasn't it, to say the least, was probably more dangerous than what they were trying to avoid with the new rules.

Looked at one stage they were all going to get a penalty. Shame it wasn’t a 5 place grid drop for all instead of the financial one as that would have improved the race today. Missed opportunity there.
