Chertsey - 14 May 2005

Well, what with there being no water in Hurley nor anywhere else I went to Chertsey on Saturday afternoon. Overall verdict is that it's a bit lame. Basically it's a small put powerful pourover in the middle of a big weir, if you put any part of the boat into it it'll flip you right over straight away. You can do this forwards and backwards and you can also shoot the whole thing but beyond that there's not really much to do. The water looked quite murky as well. Personally I can't recommend it. However, if it came to August and there's been no boating for ages then going down there with a few people on a sunny afternoon could be quite amusing, you could think up a variety of things to do I suppose.

Intended to go to Hambeldon on Sunday morning only to discover that the one gate had been closed, boo, good job I found out before making the journey mind.
