Nicholson's Updates

A blog has been started to notify boaters of any changes to facilities and features of the canal since the last Nicholson's Waterways Guide was published.

We mainly use Nicholsons Canal Guides, but I often find that the books become out of date quickly.

With pubs shutting down, etc at a rate of knots, it doesn't take long before a favorite acclaimed boozer becomes a boarded up hulk.

Anyway, this blog site is a resource for boaters to be able to post details when they find things have changed.

Not much on there yet and you need to have the latest books which have only been out for a year.

Revelations

"Blow, winds, and crack your cheeks! rage! blow!" ("King Lear")

Why do people write blogs - ego, financial reward, to gain friends and followers ??

Why are blogs so popular - they have spread like dandelions on a grassy verge, but some are as dull as ditchwater.

I often subscribe to their updates because they look promising, only to be regaled with daily tales of "got up, looked out of the window and cleaned my teeth".

Ely - its quite appropriate that the Revelation and the start of the journey should occur in the Fenland city of Ely - in the shadow of the "Ship of the Fens", a name often used to describe its gothic cathedral.

A journey ? - Where are we going ?

I've no idea - all the best journeys have no destination.
