Nigel,
If I can somehow
organise getting a boat, paddle and bouyancy aid from the club house, I could stay over a friend's house in Orcheston Saturday night, and meet you Sunday AM.
Have you managed to arrange a Club boat and kit?
I am not totally against coming down to Salisbury to collect you if there are no easy alternatives. It will add a couple of extra hours travelling over the day, but that isn't an issue. However, according to Google maps, it is 79 miles from my house to Cardiff, and if I go via Salisbury it is 120 miles. 240 miles travelling for the day. So long as the fuel costs are adequately shared, it would not be a problem and might be easier than arranging an overnight stay.
If you can get Pete to go via the Club house on Sunday morning, he could open up the clubhouse for boat and kit. I could meet you there. (Kev - it is not too far out of the way if you wanted picking up in Trowbridge on our way through).
If this is the option, could somebody let me know timings. The pumps are not turned on until 11am.
Nigel
