It's not such a small world after all!Carolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18155792486454776550noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5196100398580522186.post-54305707718690957832016-07-05T21:35:35.784+01:002016-07-05T21:35:35.784+01:00Sadly we are still in the land of the working ... ...Sadly we are still in the land of the working ... so we don't keep a blog just yet. There is a placeholder, but that's all, to Widebeam - Newlands.<br /><br />My business life means I travel a lot around the world, but the flip side is that I work from home ... or boat ... when I am not stuck at some far flung airport. So that means we can get down the GU and onto the Thames for summer. This year unfortunately has been more problematic and we are still on our home mooring at Yardley Gobion. Hopefully on the move soon.<br /><br />Ohhh to be a true CC'er :)<br /><br />Thanks again for the mooring info. I looked more carefully on google maps and see where you were now. Great spots, and we will make use I hope this year.<br /><br />Also looked further back at your blog. Maybe we have more in common than I thought? We both launched widebeams within a few weeks of each other and if I read correctly George is ex-RAF ?? <br /><br />Always good to find fellow RAF folk out in the world. I was on Tornado's from 81 to 88. Happy happy days.<br /><br />Anyway, hope you enjoy 'the pub' in your latest post ... those moorings have always been full and then some when we passed. Seemed quite lively.<br /><br />Best wishes<br />Carole & Paul Paulhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02874535285975592388noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5196100398580522186.post-88774418577782620352016-07-04T07:13:57.521+01:002016-07-04T07:13:57.521+01:00Enjoy!

It's one of my favourite stretches and every time I have the music from 'Three Men In A Boat' in my head (above the noise of the Beta that is !!!) as we cruise.<br /><br />Carole & PaulPaulhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02874535285975592388noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5196100398580522186.post-70705696607893134402016-07-02T07:00:38.479+01:002016-07-02T07:00:38.479+01:00Hi again Paul and Carole,
This post starts at our...Hi again Paul and Carole, <br />This post starts at our mooring at Dorney - from Boveney lock going upstream about ½ mile you will see visitor moorings on your right which are fine but if you go a bit further past the green bouy and round the corner you will see where we were (there’s now writing on the first bit in white paint I think it says PG POINT, we moored on the straight bit just past there. From here you can walk back to the VMs and into the park by the rowing lakes.<br />At the Clivedon moorings - from Boulters Lock about ¼-½ mile you’ll start see ‘bays’ on the offside (your right) for mooring. The one we’re in is in sight of Clivedon House. There are paths or steps to take you up the hill and there is some great walking up there. There is a cafe at the house/hotel. It’s National Trust Land and there are signs that say there is a charge for mooring here but we’ve never had anyone come and ask for the fee.<br />Hope you manage to use these moorings soon and explore the area.Carolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18155792486454776550noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5196100398580522186.post-10030094971629055682016-07-02T06:47:57.290+01:002016-07-02T06:47:57.290+01:00Paul, that first reply should have read Glad you c...Paul, that first reply should have read Glad you can NOW comment!! sorry about that!Carolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18155792486454776550noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5196100398580522186.post-57824774445430030562016-07-01T21:05:20.108+01:002016-07-01T21:05:20.108+01:00Have deleted the two other comments PaulHave deleted the two other comments PaulCarolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18155792486454776550noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5196100398580522186.post-81509672134907640602016-07-01T21:03:39.068+01:002016-07-01T21:03:39.068+01:00Hi Paul, I’ll put a list on here for you tomorrow....Hi Paul, I’ll put a list on here for you tomorrow.

They look fantastic. We have never seen any useful moorings along here so have chugged on by. Like you we have a hound and so need to be able to get him off for walks.<br /><br />Love the blog ... we are pining for the Thames at the moment but due to commitments can't move.<br /><br />We met and exchanged 'hello's ' last year on the Wey and Carole has be following you for a while.<br /><br />Best wishes ...
