If anyone in or around the Gloucestershire area is into sibbing (or ribbing) - I'm wondering if people would be interested in planning occasional weekend jaunts to relatively nearby waters.
I imagine the trips could involve Cardiff Bay, Bristol Channel (when safe!) various rivers and canals, etc.
If anyone is around here and interested in a trip once in a while, drop me a line. I'm based in Cheltenham and am always up for a pint
Interesting how those from Gloucesterrshire consider the area the 'South West'. When, geographically, it's nearer the West Midlands. Is there something about Dudley or Wolverhampton that these guys don't want to be associated with?
I'd say the Gloucester and Sharpness Canal is ripe for this kind of adventure, particularly as SIBs can wiggle under the bridges with little ado - although I still take issue that their red/green light usage is at at odds with the British Waterways manual.
If you're thinking about Cardiff Bay in terms of distance, don't forget Bristol Docks which has great launching albeit with a 6 mph limit, but with lots to see from a city point of view and a couple of nice pubs and bacon butty venues too!
I'm in Bridgwater in Somerset and would be up for either of these outings. Only place I have actually been out on mine is along the coast from Exmouth - never even considered Bristol - didn't know it was possible to take sibs out here - probably the nearest stretch of inland water to me as well so would deffo pop up there anytime.
