Early Senile Adventure

Setting out down the Leicester Line in a summer to make you careful what you wish for!

In which we try to avoid getting too far away while we wait to firm up on our commitments elsewhere.

Busy going nowhere as we avoid the Jubilee crush and find ourselves seven miles from home ten days later.

Bringing the freshly blacked boat slowly home via Birmingham, birthday dinners, barbecues and bonfires.

Travelling to Springwood Haven to have the boat's hull blacked with BSS signoff and Archie training on the way.

Archie finds his feet in pubs and clubs, on boats and trains and prepares for life as a boat dog.
