Summer Outing 2010 - Grand Western Canal, Tiverton
As 1.15pm approached on a gloriously sunny Friday
afternoon, 25 June, so 63 members and guests congregated on
the quayside at Tiverton to see the narrow boat, Tivertonian
being manoeuvred into position. The hot weather had encouraged
many to arrive early and partake of the food and drink available
around the starting point of our afternoon’s trip and
to renew many acquaintances going back over the years.
The first picture shows us getting ready to
board the vessel before she was turned in the basin ready
for the hour of leisurely cruising along the old Grand Western
Canal. There are more pictures in the Gallery.
