W3RP - The Little Boat..

..Is taken out for a little walk up river today:

Mooring the boats alongside one another the night before the low tide is essential to being able to reach the central ‘shingle’ part of the river. Everything else in the river is “mud up to your elbows”, or “completely stuck send help”. Once he’s in the middle, sporting his sexy waders, Jonny pulls along the Little Boat W3RP (Rigid Ranger) to collect the following amounts of debris:

  • An interesting gas canister/fire extinguisher

  • 47 million trolleys

  • 16 thousand bazillion traffic cones

  • Parts of the traffic light system from the Old Red Bridge Neverending Roadworks

  • Several hundred metal things that look like bed frames but are actually from the Old Red Bridge Neverending Roadworks

  • Road Signs with various instructions that clearly the world functions well enough without

  • A cupla Stereo HiFi Systems (not tested but probably unusable)

  • Couple more traffic cones (perhaps from the roadworks? One might wonder!)

  • Trolley

  • Trolleys

  • Go Cart (Mot expired)

  • Almost Ridable Bike

  • 67 more bikes or parts of bikes

  • Mud

Not all of this fits onto the Little Boat as it’s quite, little. But Jonny did a sterling job and didn’t even fall over, although he did have a hairy moment when the boat tried to float back on it’s own because he threatened it with “just one more cone”.

Here are some more nice pictures:
