The year ahead.

2012 is going to be a little unusual. In the summer the Olympics will take over London. As a result there are going to be some closures on the waterways around Stratford. For just over 2 months we won't be able to get off the Lee and Stort navigations and onto the canal system proper without venturing onto the tidal Thames. Although there are rumours of transit "windows", the even more than normally stressed moorings in London will mean that getting through London and onto the Grand Union will be difficult. As a result we have decide that come licence renewal time, we shall be getting a "Rivers only" licence, saving us in excess of £430=00.
