Boat Trip on the River Tamar visiting Morwellham Quay on Sat 20th July 2013

This year, for our annual outing, we have arranged a coach trip to Plymouth for a boat trip on the “Plymouth Princess” from the Barbican to Morwellham Quay. When we first arrive at Plymouth there will be time to take lunch or explore the Barbican and Sutton Harbour before we board the boat at 1.00pm for the 1½ hour trip up the River Tamar to Morwellham Quay. We will return to Bude by coach leaving Morwellham at 5.00pm.
The itinerary is:-

Photo Album

Chris Jewell has been out photographing the Canal Regeneration from day one . During much of the regeneration period the Canal towpaths, locks and features have been closed to the public. Now you can see how the wonderful regeneration took place - We have had a resuffle of the photos so to speak, taken some off and added some NEW ones. Curently there are 422 photographs from Chris' album and they are here for you to enjoy. Remember the photos are copyrighted to Chris so don't abuse his hard work - feel free to email comments.
