h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

I remember in my days at the Sea Cadets 1968-1969 we used in the summer get out the whaler and the duck boat row upto Kingsmead have round of Cricket or just row.That,s what I called misspent youth.Further down near to Newbridge you could hire a rowing boat and row up and down that part of the river.Of course I still remember the flood of 1968 when the flood waters cut of Sainsbury at South street? I think no doubt somebody will know more than me.
