Avon Ring 1996

The boat FREDRIK was hired from Viking Afloat

This boat was of a very high standard, as was the service we received.  Without reservation we would recommend this firm to you.  Of course this was 12 years ago as I write this, but I am sure that the current range of boats are even better by the looks of their web page and it is still family owned.  A good handling and powerful boat is needed for river work and Fredrik was just the ticket.

The crew were John Parmenter (Captain), Steve Platt, Dr. Martin Cranage, Michael Newport, David King, Adrian King and Ted Chapman.  Ted was a welcome return after a major operation in 1993, he had made a good recovery.

Stopping point were:

Saturday - Upton-upon-Severn
Sunday - Evesham
Monday - north of the Wilmcote Flight above lock 40 and before bridge 60
Tuesday - Hockley Heath perhaps just before bridge 24
Wednesday - Tardebigge above lock 58 I think just after the tunnel
Thursday - between bridges 43 and 44 after lock 23 at the very bottom of the Tardebigge Flight
Friday - back at the boatyard for Saturday.
