St Johns July 2010

15 boats travelled up the Basingstoke canal as far as the Kiln Bridge, St Johns.

After spending the friday evening at the Bridge Barn we travelled up the St Johns flight (with the new gate installed at lock 8) to moor at Kiln Bridge. During the day there were various displays in the village hall and in the evening we were entertained by an Irish folk group.
