19/4/2025 The Second “Canal Series” Match at BAA B/W Stoke Works.
Nine turned out meeting in the Social Club car park. On pegging we found eight boats moored so decided to go to the other end of the stretch parking on the grassy triangle. H. & Gary went on & pegged out. When we all got there we remembered why we had stopped using that access point.
The slope getting down to the canal is a killer & getting back up after the match required a team effort.
