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

Names on the downloadable Locking schedule

A PDF version of the Locking Schedule is available by clicking on the title - 'Names on the downloadable Locking schedule'

I have added Christian (First) names to the downloadable locking schedule so there's no excuse for not knowing who you are locking with and to attempt to make it a more friendly trip! Where I know the people concerned I have added wives/partners names but there are some I don't know other than the information that is on the application form.  If I haven't got the full information (and you would like it there) please drop me an E-Mail and I will add it.  It also makes it easier for the BCA ranger to talk to you by name rather than a 'Hey You' or using your boat name!  Likewise if you don't want your name there please let me know and I'll take it off.
