Thanks again for that update - really valuable.
Best stock up on some antibiotics as well if the reports of high levels of E-coil in the Thames are true.

At the start we will be issued with a tracker. (I'll wear it on the other ankle to my usual one...
) My mate has an email set up, in which he will distribute details of the tracker to anyone who's interested. If you PM me your email address, I'll ask him to add you to the list. Boat 309, by the way. If the tracker shows us going round and round in circles below a weir, it probably hasn't ended well, so I'll put a few quid behind the bar at the Town of Ramsgate....
Signing off now. Will soon be departing for Devizes, prior to a boat and kit check later this afternoon, and an 04:30 start tomorrow.
See you on the other side!

Thanks for posting that, I was just wondering about how they were getting on.
Will be checking in on their progress during the day and hope they make it safely to the end with no drama.
