Looking for Problems
I was running a training course for my other job today. Unusually for me I took the car.
When the course finished I could make a minor detour to drop in on Vic and Sue on No Problem.
Sue has a map link from her site so anyone can check where they are - or at least she usually does.
Today the link didn’t work so I had to guess where they were moored but I didn’t have to hunt for long before I found them.
Lucy greeted me with the whimpers and fuss she reserves for a long lost friend. Meg watched for a moment, perhaps wondering why Lucy was making such a fuss of a stranger, then joined in anyway.
It was lovely to meet Meg for the first time and I was surprised how well trained she was already.
It was great to see Vic again too and he soon had the kettle and a mug of tea in hand. But as for Sue - she was down in Portsmouth - the second time she’s been missing when I visited - tut tut.

Four Counties Ring
We released the successful Llangollen Canal DVDs towards the end of last year and that was very popular before Christmas.
Our cruising programme last summer also included the Four Counties Ring and, despite some heavy rain along the Staffs & Worcester Canal, we captured all the film for the ring.
Now we’re busy editing the video footage to produce the Four Counties Ring DVD. We went anti-clockwise around the ring so that sets out which direction the video will travel - but where should we start from.
There are so many potential starting points - Autherley Junction, Great Heywood Junction, Etruria Junction etc.
As well as the vide footage there are the other items to complete everything. The DVD Cover is ready, with the Harecastle Tunnel South Portal on the front, and the usual map on the back.
Inside the Information Booklet is almost finished, as is the fold-out map. So the hold up seems to be someone busy blogging instead of editing the DVD!
