John Pinkerton Canal Cruises
“Lovely trip on the canal near Odiham. We did the cruise out to the Barley Mow pub and the walk back. We did the 3 mile walk in about 1 hour but many take a slower pace and amble along. The tow path is well made of compacted earth and stones but there are trip hazards such as tree roots. We set off at 10.30am and a ploughman's lunch of cheese, ham, salad, apple, pickle and bread was served about 12 noon. Hot and cold drinks including wine are available for extra from the bar. Also available are snacks and souvenirs. We were a party of 5 with 2 who were allergic to nuts and Sue, who organises and prepares the food couldn't have been more helpful. The volunteers are very friendly and helpful. We were kept informed by Roger who knows everything there is to know about that stretch of the river. We stopped for a lovely drink in the Barlow Mow's beer garden and saw a wonderful display of Red Admirals. A wonderful day out with grown up family. I would recommend these theme trips with the John Pinkerton boat and the lovely volunteers.”
