Red O will have to miss Barrow and the Lakes, I cant get to Blackpool this year.

Arrow5 · « **Reply #33 on:** October 14, 2008, 06:13:37 pm »

Pity, maybe next time round :'( Any proxy Springer pictures in the lovely Lakes ?

boatmadman · « **Reply #34 on:** October 14, 2008, 07:10:37 pm »

I intend to do a 'springaround' of the lakes sometime soon.

Red says "dosvidanya" to his chums before the trek to Blackpool c/o comrade Norry

....I presume as Red O is in Welsh Wales there will be no pics forthcoming so how about another from the shores of Loch Ness prior to her departure to Englandshire. She should surface in Warwickshire soon. Somebody take some pics pleeeeeze.

Having arrived in North Wales, Red Oktober was captured by 2 nere do well's, but managed to escape and next surfaced on the Blackheath club stand at the Warwick Model Boat show, where after three days of having to listen all about steam, it lept into the arms of some passing French model boaters with the promise of fine wine and dining, and was last seen heading across the channel cleverly disguised as a russian sub.

Close-up of poster. The small print at the bottom says; "Do you want to assist in doing a "By Any Means" (BBC tv ) type trip for TOESUP`S model? Take it abroad with you on holiday? Are you employed by a shipping company or an airline? There are modellers in 25 European countries waiting for a start of this project. Any ideas welcome. Cheap or free shipping. A DUMMY RUN TO GERMANY AND AUSTRIA HAS BEEN DONE AND NO PROBLEMS HAVE EMERGED TAKING IT AS LUGGAGE WITHOUT BATTERIES OR RADIO.

What a very cool idea, If it ever gets to this side of the pond. It has an open slot here in Michigan and we can cover Lake Huron,Lake Erie, Detroit river, Lake St Clair, Anchor Bay, Clinton River a couple of branches, And the defunct The Clinton-Kalamazoo Canal. Which started in Mount Clemens and made it 12 miles toward the west side of the state before it was abandoned 150 years later if you know where to look you can see traces of the aqueduct that carried the canal over the Clinton river a number of locations have water in them. And used as storm channels to the river.

You are on for that PT

. Strange that you should mention the Lakes in your area. The very first book I checked out of the local Carnegie public library was "Paddle to the Sea" , all about the native American boy who carves a model canoe and sends it from the snows to the river down through the Great Lakes to the ocean. Maybe this will be an up-to-date version. It has to get back to Toes in PNW sometime

, no rush.

Wow, you have Carnegie public libraries too ours in town is now the local art center as is was a small building, and they have had to add on to the back of it for the art center. Small world.

oldiron · « **Reply #42 on:** November 11, 2008, 04:14:14 am »

You can through Canada on the list if you wish with Lake Ontario, Ottawa River, Lake Simcoe and a few other assorted smaller lakes.

Andrew Carnegie was a Scot who rememered his homeland when it came his largess. Look him up on Wikipedia. Oldiron; Yep she has a rendevous in Canada, you are added

Now in France? My son Footskijunior now lives in Normandy. It may be possible to arrange for him to take it over the pond as he works in the Caribbean....hm one to bear in mind..

Arrow5 · « **Reply #45 on:** November 11, 2008, 08:21:59 am »

Now there is a coincidence

He`s hired

We have a lot of Europe to cover first. He is on the list, as you are Footski

As requested by Duncan I've start to managed a travel in France and I've just open this morning a post on one of the main french model boat Forum

I will give you details later.

Have a nice day
