I see. In which case, it may be Relevant to my Interests...

Roughly how far it will be there and back? I've only used this outboard a couple of times on the river, so I'm not sure on consumption. Any idea how different a 40 is to a 25? I might need another tank?!

Good to hear some of you are coming to visit our neck of the woods,

Just a shame that i wont be there as we don't open on Sundays

As for parking there are no parking restrictions on the embankment (Just watch the tide - always interesting to see which car floats the longest though )

One other thing - mind out for the war canoes

Have a good day out

[PeterM]

I'm a possible - depending on the endless list of things - kids, other halves, weather , how I feel about getting up early etc etc.

I'm going to Southampton on Sunday, not sure if I can do Saturday now though as we're struggling for a baby sitter and he's too small for this trip!

That's OK, it means you can come and play

Here's a flyer for the trip that Lee has sent me:

Just picking up a bit late on this topic - definitely interested if I can get up there - if so I will be coming with my 8 year old, the Zodiac 340 and it's Tohatsu 9.8.

Is it man enough for that busy stretch of the Thames??

[John Kennett]

That should be fine, provided you don't load it up so much that you can't get on the plane!

[Bieny]

Did anyone go yesterday? Weather wasn't great!
