This cruise on the Basinsgtoke has been sponsored by the Basingstoke Canal Society in conjunction with Byfleet Boat Club and the Local (Guildford and Reading) branch of the IWA.

It is the first cruise over the entire length of the canal since 2006 following a successful cruise by four boats from Byfleet Boat Club (Leo No2, Hazell Nut, Aqua Vitae and Winter Lilly) to Brookwood village between Christmas and New Year 2012.

The main aim is to navigate to the limit of the navigation but there are three options available as follows:

1) Cruise to the Bridge Barn hotel in Woking and return
2) Cruise to Brookwood Country Park and return
3) Cruise to King John's Castle (Odiham) and return

Application form available here

Currently the boat numbers are:

Woking - 2
Brookwood Country Park - 7
Odiham/King John's Castle - 32

Brookwood Water Point

The water point at Brookwood Country Park (on the wharf) is accessed with a BW 'Watermate' key.  However the tap is a 1 inch tap for which adaptors are not usually carried.  Kathryn on Leo No2 (07768 770070) and Rodney on Hazell Nut (07887 552922) both have 1 inch to Hozelock adaptors.  Kathryn will be with the first group up St Johns on the Friday and Rodney with the second group on the Saturday.
