"Cholsey Run this year"
Anyone interested in going for a Cholsey run this Summer.
I have not seen a few members for a couple of years, and there are a few new faces that have shown some interest.
Here is the first one we did, that was 5 years ago time flies.
viewtopic.php?f=2&t=1417&hilit=cholsey
This was us getting towed back Marstons are so reliable.
Anyone interested let us know, I can bring a couple of spare boats if people need to borrow one.

Re: "Cholsey Run this year"
"location:- A329 between Moulsford and Wallingford ...@ Cholsey there is a little lane called Ferry Lane goes down to the river ...slipway and loads of places for picnics
Parking available even if a bit limited
kids can swim in and around the slip... more-or-less sandy... pretty spot
up river to Wallingford, pub on the bank
down river can go hassle Jackie at British Seagull
you can check .... http://www.electric-boat-association.or ... ipways.htm
nice long beats on this section ....no locks for ages, just in case anyone has had the bad luck to misplace their Enviroment Agency license "
Just Google Earth "Ferry Lane, Cholsey" and you will see where it is.

i've got a big (ish) boat at 16 foot with a cuddy up front.

Re: "Cholsey Run this year"
How does Saturday 30th August sound to everyone?
Post bank Holiday so may be a little quieter.
Thames day licence can be purchased from lock keeper, if we are asked on the way to a lock
How heavy is your 16 foot boat Jon?
Slip is OK for trailer launch, blue has managed in the past with his big boat.

Re: "Cholsey Run this year"
don't know?
havn't put it on any weigh scales yet?
i cant imagine it being THAT heavy.
i can push the boat and trailer by myself on the drive with absolute ease, so approx. less than half a tonne (boat and trailer)
why do you ask.
only needs around 2 foot depth to float probably a bit less
launching can be a bit tricky, especially on a shallow sloped slipway

Re: "Cholsey Run this year"
If I wasn't 10,538 miles away, I'd be there with bells on.
Please take a bunch of photos and video footage for those of us who unfortunately cannot make it.
Hope you all have a great time.
