Orchid

Visit date: May 2009

Martin writes: We made it through the tunnel in NB Orchid (ex-Ownerships, Milburn hull.)

Water tank filled and roof cleared of various bits and pieces but central heating vent fouled the marker at the lock. Tried anyway and went thought with space to spare. Basin was empty when we arrived apart from a courting couple having a picnic on one of the pontoons.

Beautiful place, we want to go back sometime.
