Hello as a retirement project I decided to buy a very tired Norman 23 and restore so about a year ago I bought Willow the one in the picture on the way into the Norman site.
Now the restoration complete am at the moment doing sea trials off the north Devon coast with a 90 hp on the back and going well when weather permits,
I have also got a new 20- 4 stroke to do the inland waterways ,and am planning a trip from nr Bristol to Reading on the Kennet &Avon later this year.
So was wondering if anyone would be interested to come along for the trip and give a hand. Reply to my link e male. Dave.

Dave,
My wife an I did Devizes to Reading last week and would love to do it again but not so soon.

Let me know if you need any recommendations or info, moorings, pubs etc if you don't already know the route.

Some photos, ignore the irrelevant ones.

One other thing, keep an eye out on is http://www.waterscape.com/canals-and-rivers/kennet-and-avon-canal/boating/stoppages as I was talking to an British Waterways guy and there was talk about replacing 4 locks in the Crofton area later this year.
