We are off tomorrow on the first day of our 3 week canal trip. We booked it in December 2013 with plans to do the "Grand Ring" which involves some of the Thames. We'd bought 2 new Nicholson's canal guides and I'd stuck the dates into a canal route planning site and worked out roughly where we'd need to be each night. The day before yesterday the boat hire company phoned. "The Thames is too high- you'll have to stay on the Kennet and Avon canal." For 3 weeks? Don't fancy that. So we've changed the booking for starting at Rugby and plan to start doing the Leicester Ring in an anti-clockwise direction - although we'll probably take a longer route round Birmingham. We've got a 6 berth 60ft narrowboat for no extra charge so more space but longer to manoeuvre.
