Misty and drizzly but warm. Lovely walk.

Beware when you tie alongside

At the boatyard - central river channels - lovely overnight on-board dinghy cruise stops

Steve Nice set of photo, they illustrate exactly why I like this time of year.
Must try and get to Calstock it's been years since I've been there (nearly 20).

Half an hour with a digger (every couple of months or so) and those quay side berths would be very much improved and might encourage additional visitors?? Lovely pictures though, you live in a beautiful part of the world...
hi Steve - owned by the National Trust and they don't actively discourage boats from arriving but at same time they don't encourage them either. Like to have a donation to the trust if you visit. Like to be warned in advance - all of which is of course basic courtesy. It is one of my favourite visiting spots.
Max - if you get down this way - and fancy a drink up at Calstock - drop me an email. Calstock is a lovely dinghy cruising destination - however, it has a mixed reception - my welcome at the boatyard has always been amazing. if you moor around the town square area, on the muddy foreshore - you get stung money and then a visit from the local teenagers - not all of whom are friendly. The pub however, across the road, is lovey and welcoming.
