Mister Fudge Goes East
This week as the weather finally starts to warm up I have decided that my royal barge will take me eastwards to meet my courtiers in Whittlesey.
My crew have already started packing my many necessities for the forthcoming voyage. I have chosen a route from our base at Saul Junction on the Gloucester and Sharpness Canal.

191 miles and 168 locks - I hope my crew are up to it. They tend to take it easy and spend a bit too much from the ship's purse..........I may have to resort to the cat of 9 tails to encourage them.

Bon voyage mister fudge. Make sure you keep your crew under control!
ReplyDeleteI've always wanted to travel by long boat, or is that Royal Barge. Enjoy your adventure!
