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.

Moored at Honeystreet for the week

#1 Post by NB_Wanderlust »

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 not see Florrie, slightly disappointed). Any must-sees within walking distance of the moorings before we turn back? Loving this forum, found it looking up the local ghost stories, funnily enough.

Welcome to the pound, Dawn and Clive. Walk up to the long barrow at West Kennet if you have the legs, twenty minutes off the towpath and worth every step, and the Sanctuary above it. Take the lane, not the main road. And if it is clear, walk back along the cut at dusk: the herons fish the last light and it is the best free show in the county. Mind the dip past the bridge if you cycle, it floods.
