Round Britain, by Sam Steele and Margaret Campbell

Sam Steele has contributed to several yachting magazines and is the author of the best selling UK and Ireland Circumnavigator’s Guide.

Sam will be looking at planning aspects of a round Britain cruise such as: when to leave, which route, which direction, what to take, how long does it take, how much does it cost. The talk will answer these key questions and many more, and will be coupled with an entertaining account of her trip round Britain in 2006 with her mate Margaret (Mags) Campbell in their Rival 38 Ituna.

This talk should whet your appetite to set off - our coastline is stunningly beautiful.

We meet at 19:00 hours at the Early Bird, Public House,  Grovewood Drive North, Weavering, Maidstone, ME14 5TQ(www.shepherdneame.co.uk – for a map), on the second Thursday of each month between October and April (Inclusive) and the talks begin at 20:10 hours.
