Rally Shrewsbury, messing about on the river 2-7 July

[Mr porky]

Does anyone want a Suzuki adress 110cc scooter in blue, few scratches one major service last year.
we have just upgraded to a honda 300cc at the local dealers picking up on Tuesday am.
I got a trade in of £575 so if anyone wants to buy it you can have it for the same plus a bottle of whisky so £600.
mileage is 4658 miles.
Genuine deal I just dont have the time or inclination to eBay it at i reckon 1k.
only do the deal here before Tuesday.

It’s an 2018 model

That's a date then.

Fabulous afterrnoon messing about on the river in a variety of craft

It was a lovely afternoon.

 

[funflair]

We are going to attempt a mile swim tomorrow morning. Leaving the beach at 11am if anyone fancies escorting. Swimming from the beach to the Boat House pub in the town. We have to get out on the opposite bank at the Evolution Cafe.

There are moorings available if you want to tie up and either get a coffee or walk over the bridge to the pub. Please be aware it is a slow old paddle when escorting swimmers in the water (especially me!), so you may fall asleep at the helm.

We have been told by a local boat person to swim on the right hand side of the river (if going with the flow) as this is what the motor boats will expect.

At this stage our plan is to put a dry bag of clothes in Nigels boat and get changed before heading to the pub for a little tipple.

Getting out point.

You are a great salesman, I would never have the nerve to charge people for dying of boredom why they watch over us slowly making our way a long the river.....Good idea though!

 

[paddymcc]

I would love to have try out paddle boarding if anyone is brave enough to let me have a go

You are welcome ( or anyone else) to try mine. I haven't inflated it you as the kayak is easier for my dog ( he's still a learner) but would be happy to do so if you want a go. .Probably tomorrow if the weather isn't too bad.

Yes please. Might even put them to use before the rain, with a bit of luck it will then stay fine...

 

[Taran_Las]

OMG it's so easy Paddleboarding on flat water.

FYI, if anyone hears me barking around the site, I've got a bad cough after manflu I got from the grandkids.
I did a covid test before coming so I'm safe.

I can confirm what we've thought for a long time. Lenny is BARKING.

[funflair]

Car boot sale this morning but a really low turn out, must have been put off by the forecast or the rain first thing.

 

[Lenny HB]

Blimey that rain was heavy, didn't appreciate it waking me up at 4:15 as we had been socialising withe the neighbours until gone 1:00.

[tonka]

They are on the floor under flagpole with England flag. Gold Burstner just take them anytime.

Yes the Honda sh300. Pre registered with 1 mile on the clock so a deal was done. Very happy.

 

[Armytwowheels]

There is now a plan B for the swim.
If the heavens open, making it miserable for all, we will turn round at half way and swim back to the beach.

 

[funflair]

Well done Colin and Sandra Armytwowheels
