funkyplates Jan 2017 6:41pm, 16 Jan 2017 109 posts	0 funkyplates Having read the instructions I now want to arrive by boat! Let's get a fetch barge..... I can drive it from Oxford down the Thames. I think Oxford were trying to be posh when they called the Thames the river Isis, somehow I think they might change it back now. Do they have a helipad? Oh, just to be clear, I own neither a boat or a helicopter but it would be cool wouldn't it.
Eynsham Red Jan 2017 7:56pm, 16 Jan 2017 1,292 posts	0 Eynsham Red Funkyplates, I'm coming from Oxford too. Maybe we could get a two man canoe and paddle down! I work on helicopters but don't think my employers would be very happy if I borrowed one for the weekend though, especially as I can't fly one.
funkyplates Jan 2017 8:29pm, 16 Jan 2017 110 posts	0 funkyplates Great idea ER, but I'd need one with an outboard motor. Just tried to plan the route on google but there is no boat option as mode of transport. Found something google can't do. Great news re helicopter, we'd only need it for the Saturday, I can learn in the next couple of weeks.

Mazlin Jan 2017 8:55pm, 16 Jan 2017 2,126 posts	0 Mazlin There is a website where you can plan kayaking routes. I found it when I was briefly considering commuting to work by kayak I can't remember what it's called, but I really didn't do much in-depth research, so it must be reasonably easy to find on google.
