Yesterday Andy bought a very useful book about the French waterways. It has maps. At last! Inside we found a river/canal classification guide :
A : no difficulties / no strong currents / no commercial traffic.
B : no major difficulty but more commercial traffic and some occasional tricky passages.
C : difficult waterway / strong current / heavy traffic / other dangers. To be tackled with extreme caution by the inexperienced.
We cross-checked this guide with the waterways that we have already travelled. We haven't done any A. Two Bs and, of course, three grade Cs. And that's where we are now!

Watched the Tour de France on ITV4 but did not see the Baileys nor the George Crossed Lobelia. Only a lot of cyclists.

Are you feeling one of those Practical Boat Owner "confessionals" coming on ?
ReplyDeleteI have one in the pipeline from a "Mudeford Quay harbour wall vs Enterprise" incident 2 weeks ago, resulting in either a cracked rib or badly pulled chest muscle ! Dunno which it is, but it doesn't mix well with sneezing.
