BCNChallenge

At the risk of stating the obvious, the challenge will not be happening at the end of May this year. I’ll update when we know more. Sorry for not saying sooner but this account usually hibernates until April-ish.

@CRTBoating Just tie up tight and accept a bit of clonking.

What are your top tips #BoatsThatTweet for dealing with the infamous Shroppie Shelf when mooring? twitter.com/dieselelephant…

Our daughter's favourite book about Duffy a turtle who's rescued after eating plastic. She got upset cruising the Walsall canal on the #BCNChallenge How do you explain to a 3yr old you can't stop to pick up every piece of plastic? @WASUPMEUK #WASUP #plasticwaste @CRTWestMidlands

@CRTBoating ... and no mention in the #BoatersUpdate of the #BCNChallenge last weekend. We even had Richard Parry down for the event that was listed on your website and events list. We are a tiny bit biased as we won it!

@NBGoodTimes Should have done Titford Pools.

For anyone who is interested this was our route for the #BCNChallenge We enjoyed ourselves immensely and will probably be back again in the future.

@RebellionAfloat @PrimroseEng I didn’t organise anything. I just mucked around on a bike, enjoying myself. All credit to Richard & Sue for stepping in to save the challenge @nbtawnyowl @TawnyOwlnb @PrimroseEng #bcnchallenge

Second! Happy with that :) Well done Good Times and thank you @PrimroseEng and @BCNChallenge for organising the event! See you next year!! #BCNChallenge

#BCNChallenge Thank to all the wonderful people we met on our first marathon. Thank you for the offers of help when our Queen misbehaved. Special mention to Nb Corolla with whom we shared a route and even offered us a tow when in need. NB Rhiannon

Rules is rules!

#BCNChallenge OK, the database has produced an answer and it is... Unbelievable We are going to have to do some sums Apologies, watch this space

@PrimroseEng Did Team Clarrie win? #bcnchallenge

@CRTBoating @NBGoodTimes This is me at 2.00am on a Friday night, except I’d have finished the chips before passing out.

@NBGoodTimes @BCNChallenge 🤪🤣

After-party is going well ... #bcnchallenge @BCNChallenge

Well that's the end of the #BCNChallenge for another year. .@NBtattylucy had lots of fun. The after party, Lily loved playing with Bob from @NBGoodTimes until she finally ran out of energy. See you all next year.

@nbfirefly A top 3 place then, surely?

@BCNChallenge 13:10 I believe
