No doubt a lot of you have seen last Thursday's programme ''Countrywise'' with
Paul Heiney [a poor man's ''Countryfile''] where a link between Stratford &
Warwick on the currently unnavigable Avon was featured. Back in 1992 when a
mate & I 'did' the Avon Ring & made a video of our adventures we heavily
featured this 'missing link' & bemoaned the fact that it wasn't to be because
of the 'attitudes of riparian land-owners who didn't wish to see scruffy boats
passing by their properties.''
We were merely quoting contemporary reports. The programme on 26
March made it sound as though the link would be started next Tuesday, so
definite was it. In reality though, does anyone really know if the scheme has
received a recent boost? I mean, according to ''Countrywise'' this issue has
been under discussion for nigh on 500 years, we can afford to wait a bit longer!
