Glad you liked it Graham, It has done well in the 7 years I have had it, not bad for a "bay" purchase £364 with trailer and Johnson 4HP.

It carries a good load too :lol:

Getting back to Cholsey, any pictures from your friend Jon?

There's not much changed since the 1st Seagull meeting in 2010.

I think Charles's reputation for breaking down is quite safe for now at least.
I wonder what will happen next year?

Mind you, i think we're all looking forward to joining in with A-J on his marathon along the Avon/Thames next year. Should be quite a fun few weeks out on the water and rough camping along the way.

If we are thinking about doing 2 events next year (Avon/Thames and Cholsey) we might have to spread the dates out a bit.
Perhaps think about doing Cholsey a bit later on in the year towards the end of the school summer holiday or even a bit later still.
Plenty of time to think things over yet.

The surprised look on peoples faces when Charles is actually running is even better.
It I you knew what he was thinking.
