Hello Everyone!!
PS Monarch is off for a jolly on the Tamar 24th May-1st June. Does anybody have any insights as to the paddle steamer history of the river before we arrive?
Also if anybody is down that way, it would be great to meet up, have a pint and have a chug whilst we're there!
Matt
You'll be needing this Matt - http://www.twelveheads.com/t541.htm
Ordered!! Cheers Chris.
AAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHH
I should qualify my last post by saying, I hate wide loads and craning plans!! I'm sure that everything will go wonderfully-but at this stage, I wonder if she'll ever hit the oggin at this rate!
Ooops, and another thing, the SBA might be accompanying Monarch in Calstock on the Saturday-so a wonderful sight may be had by all.....if we get there!!
Just about to load Monarch onto the trailer...Cornwall here we come!
I hope the journey went well Matt...... A nerve wracking experience I'd imagine!
Regards
Eddy
We leave today for Plymouth, then accross the Sound on Monday and straight up the Tamar....watch this space!
Hope you paid the driver extra for careful cornering.

She's back home!! Somebody caught our arrival at Calstock on video-watch it till the end though and you'll get a really good feel for what the village is really like. It was nice to think that we were the first paddle steamer to come through the viaduct in well over 80 years!
