WARNING :- Some of the content of this site may be considered offensive.  Eating on-board prepared meals and drinking "Real Ale" will feature a lot, for these are the attraction of a barge holiday for us.  The photographs show the wonderful legacy that has been left for us all to discover.   Oh...and a little bit of what is the greatest hobby in the world, Amateur Radio.  For more information on the hobby visit the Radio Society of Great Britain
Also visit CDARC Contesting and Outdoor activities site (like this site always under construction)

Spouse, Children and Grandchildren must be prepared to see their Partner, Parent or Grandparent in a new light.   Friends of group members will probably deny ever knowing them after viewing this site. I hope the group members will have happy memories flooding back and add more over the coming months and years.  Thanks for all the input and help so far.

I very much hope that visitors enjoy the pictures and notes.  Visit back from time to time, the latest revisions and additions are listed at the bottom of the page.

Here is the latest updated database of the trips.  It is now thought to be substantially correct with just a few loose ends, for example, the boat name of the 1993 trip, thought to be Montrose as used for the 1990 outing. Hams Afloat in PDF format opens in new window
