Your recent holiday on Thrush - Veery Thrush from Aldermaston Wharf
About 2 days cruising to first water tap at Kintbury. Fine with only 3 on board. May have struggled with 6. Shortage of towpath mooring locations, despite canal being quiet.

Your recent holiday on Wren - Marbled Wren from Worcester
De boot voldeed helemaal aan onze verwachtingen. Het interieur was knus en functioneel. De inventaris was compleet (op een knoflookpers na, maar de Britten houden daar geloof ik ook niet zo van ;-)
