I know, it's one of the most fertile places to grow stuff in the UK, presumably because the river periodically drops its goodness over the soil.
There's a pub at Lower Lode that'll let you use their nice concrete ramp for £5 and then you have a lovely deep 10 miles stretch down to Gloucester with a couple of pubs on the riverbank on the way down.
The chap Jed, who runs the boathouse there told me that this stretch is tidal (just) so in theory has no speed limit in force. He runs an ally johnboat with a 15 Mariner that he guns down there to keep up with the rowers so I guess he must know what he's talking about.
Can't wait to get it in again to be honest. Need to fix a rumbling wheel bearing on the trailer soon too.
