A note from the administrator.

I have had to close the forum to new members. Registration is shut. I'm sorry for it - but I can no longer vouch for who comes through the door.

You may also find that certain older topics are no longer where you left them. I have, with great reluctance, removed a small number of threads and posts from this forum. I did so at the written request of a firm of solicitors acting for the landowner, who hold that the material touched on matters they would prefer were not aired in public.

I have complied, because I am one man and they are not. I want it set down plainly, here, that I did so under protest, and that I do not accept the grounds. Nothing removed was untrue. Nothing removed was anyone's business to suppress.

But I will not delete this board. What is left here stays, and you may read it for as long as I can keep the lights on. I have locked the doors; I have not burned the house. I have kept copies of everything. I would ask, gently, that those of you who hold anything of your own do the same.

<t>Hello Pat. We are still here, just not up your way, and I am sorry to be the one bringing it into the Snug because this was always the happy corner. Clive and I have talked it over and over and we think we will give next summer a miss. The K&A I mean, your end of it. I cant put my finger on i...

Already planning the next one Pat, dont you worry. Clive says we'll do the Thames next year, I say one cut at a time. Either way we will be back. You cant get this out of your blood once its in. See you on the water.

We did it!

<t>WE DID IT. Clive took his retirement in the spring and we have just come off six weeks on the cut, the whole K&A end to end and back, no more week-a-year pretending, the real thing at last. I am writing this tired and brown and absolutely brimming. We worked down the Devizes flight in the rai...

We moored at Honeystreet one September and cycled up at first light, well worth the early alarm! Get there before the car park fills. Dawn from the West Kennet end looking back is gorgeous if youre quick, before the coaches.

Moored at Honeystreet for the week

<t>Hello from the cut! Dawn and Clive here, hired a boat out of Devizes and weve worked our way up to Honeystreet for a few days, what a part of the world. Photos to follow when the signal behaves. Climbed up to the white horse and the crop circle field yesterday, had the Barge in the evening (did n...

<t>Hello both! Dawn here, Clive's steering. Found this thread having a nose around and hope you dont mind us joining the natter. We're not proper boaters like you Pat, we hire a week most summers and pretend, but we love it to bits. Did the Devizes flight last year and I've never been so tired or so...

Hello from a hire-boat

Hello! Dawn and Clive, we hire a boat on the K&A a week most summers and have got slightly obsessed with all the earthworks you can see from the water. What's that big mound? What's that lump in that field? Forgive the holidaymaker questions, we just love it up here.
