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

Wednesday 27-March Byfleet Boat Club

Queueing at Lock 1
Basingstoke Canal - August 2010
On Wednesday 27-March it is intended to open Byfleet Boat Club for a social evening prior to the first group of boats going up the Woodham flight of locks.  

We are doing this for a number of reasons:
  • It is very difficult to get alongside between Woodham Junction and Lock 1 and therefore secure your boat overnight.
  • It is not an ideal place to spend an evening
  • It is Easter school holidays
  • For those of you with television the signal is non-existant
So please join us at Byfleet Boat Club (only 15 minutes from Lock 1) on the Wednesday evening for an enjoyable time and a chance to get to know your fellow boaters.
