Lost count of the amount of kingfishers I saw, sika and roe just peering out the bankside foliage buzzards ,herons ,four sparrow hawks hunting the tow paths it has been great I done this one as a favour and for the experience but doing my calculations I am looking at doing it as a profession if you can get the work I could travel for about 3months of the year and bank around 20k at the current rates they charge, I have the tickets I need so only expense would be insurance, I see opportunities everywhere I go lol

Slowly slowly mate the exhaust is hinged and weighted so we just pull on a rope and if folds down but self rights when you release the rope bothe chimneys off it’s a first for me I,m used to the bigger waterways

Not really mate he was abused himself by lord mount batten which is why mount batten was murdered not by the ira as claimed, thought a man with his finger on the pulse like yourself would have been all over that
-
Moving on from bideford to Stratford on Avon before joining the narrows up to lapworth flight
-
I don’t know about making it awkward for them mate, petrol through the letter box and a good shoeing every time they show there face in public I think is more appropriate for nonces and sexual predators in general
-
Got stopped by bridge work about a days motoring from final destination so came home for a few nights back up early Friday morning for last big push done about 40 locks so far got another big flight ahead meant to take 5 hours to climb, it’s been a hard slog standing still on the back for ten hours a day in all weather plus locks but I,m almost 62 and realistically how many adventures do we have left, I feel like I’ve gone ten rounds after a game of rugby but I love it lol

Night stop at the frog inn bidetord on avon

Few more from my epic journey leaving pershore on up the Avon to Stratford on Avon with Lenny the boat dog and a ten horse two pot engine older than me

Mate I have not read all the thread but my take on all mammals us included is we get our immunity from our mothers milk then build on it as we grow up by catching colds and flus sticking jabs into kids for things like flu is detracting from there own natural immunity growth and making future generations drug dependant to stay alive. Get I’ll ,Get we’ll get anti body’s and crack on
-
