AFTERNOON CRUISE ON THE WEY & ARUN CANAL

A PRIVATE CRUISE with CREAM TEA on FRIDAY 20th MAY 2011
We left Crawley by coach at 1 o'clock and had a pleasant journey on a fine sunny afternoon to our boat moored at the Onslow Arms PH at Loxwood. David had already given us a talk on the Canal Trust and was there to greet us and to crew the boat under skipper  Peter Hyem So at 2 o'clock we set sail in a southerly direction along the Wey and Arun Junction Canal as far as Drungewick lock, currently the last restored lock until volunteers reisate the canal to its former glory down the river Arun and the south coast.

After tea the boat turned round at Drungewick to give us a peaceful cruise back, to Loxwood where our waiting coach delivered us back to Crawley at about 6 o'clock to conclude a very pleasant afternoon in the Surrey countryside
