We were welcomed aboard the ‘Waterside Coach’ by our good friend and driver for the day Howard. Everyone was excited and eagerly looking forward to a great day out with friends. ankfully it wasn’t raining, so we were able to enjoy our picnics sitting on the green by the side of the canal; sandwiches, sausage rolls, strawberries, cakes and treats being swapped and shared amongst friends. We had two narrowboats, e John Pinkerton 11 and Dawn. As soon as the canal boat men had got us aboard and settled, they gave us a brief history of the canal and we were soon sailing along the tranquil stretch of water enjoying refreshments and the odd glass of wine. We sailed along up to the ruins of Odiham Castle, locally known as ‘King John’s Castle’ which was a frequent stopping point for Norman Kings built around 1200. We were able to go out onto the front of the narrowboats and take videos and photos of the lush vegetation growing along the canal banks and tow path. Herons, Mallards, Swans and Dragon ies are regularly seen along the canal, and some of us were lucky enough to spot a few of them, and we were keeping our eyes peeled for a glimpse of a Kingfisher that sometimes appears as a ash of blue ying ahead of the boats. Although we headed o to ‘Newlands Farm Shop’ Café where we were made really welcome and tucked into a delicious cream tea. Everyone had a brilliant day and we want to say a huge thank you to the committee of the ‘Waterside Community Fund’ and also to Malcolm Wade for making this enjoyable day out possible. THANK YOU! Waterside Gateway Club enjoying a wonderful day out on the Basingstoke Canal didn’t see any sh, we did come across several people in kayaks and canoes along the canal, and we gave them ‘high ves’; as they paddled alongside us! A er our pleasant, enjoyable experience on the narrow boats, we thanked the friendly volunteers and crew and Print & Stitch Monday 7th October, create a decorative piece of work of your own design at Lepe Country Park, combining contact/nature printing, lino stamps, frottage, Indian ink drawing and stitch on to a material base.
