A Conversation for H2G2 Waterworks: The River

Definately a useful river!!
Are there any swans on it? I can't see any at the moment. 
Maybe Demented Duck will let you borrow her ducks for the River? Maybe the ducks would like to live on it? I'll go and ask her... 
¦M¦

That's a good idea, if there's one thing a river needs, it's ducks.
And yes, it is a useful river, just not a popular one at the moment. Hopefully that will change.

I am going to set up a lift now... down to the beach and doughnut stall from the woods

The Fish Posted Jun 10, 2000
Ming if you need a place for some ducks, there's always my pond...
All ducks, and other aquatic life is very welcome

Well, they can travel from the pond to the river and back again, you know.

A river seems about the best place for a frog like me to be.
The River
Ming Mang Posted Jun 11, 2000
Yes.
*agrees with Dead Frog*
*agrees with BB and The Fish*

The Fish Posted Jun 11, 2000
I would've thought you didn't need anything like "Rivers" DF...???
*Thanks Ming, for being so "agreeable"*
The River
Bluebottle Posted Jun 12, 2000
Well, perhaps Dead Frog is confused, and thinks this is the river Stynx (or how-ever it's spelt). Still, it is a very nice river - perhaps we should start boat hire? Dop you think people would want to kyack down this river?
The River
Ming Mang Posted Jun 13, 2000
That's OK, Fish... *agrees with The Fish that she was being agreeable*
Yes, I do think people would like to kayak down the river. I would, anyway... I liked kayaking last time I tried, anyway...

I've never really kayacked in a river. I've canoed and surf-ski/wave-ski in the sea many a time, but never in a river.

Looks around hoping someone will want to help me in my kayak.. needs to people to really make it move....
And how about a bit for punts... that was great fun!
The River
Bluebottle Posted Jun 15, 2000
Good idea - we'll have to make a whole river and pleasure boat area on this river - but if you want to take out a punt, I think I've got one spare
The River
Fashion Cat Posted Jun 15, 2000
If you feel like really diversifying, you could hire out boats for parties on the river at night.... though its not the same without having things like multi-million pound tents to laugh at is it...!
The River
Bluebottle Posted Jun 16, 2000
I don't think that the River's large enough for a paddle-steamer, but definately we could have some pleasure boats. Paddle cats and canoes, kayacks, that sort of thing. Would be great.

The Fish Posted Jun 16, 2000
*Drum roll*
All your boat hiring needs can be resolved In one easy step!
I've got a Boat Yard which is connected to my pond, where you can hire out Anything that floats, on, bellow or even above the water...
It's at http://www.h2g2.com/A360046
You're quite welcome to all go on a Kayacking Course, which will get you a "Grade 1" certificate...
The River
Bluebottle Posted Jun 17, 2000
Okay, a boat yard.
That's useful - I'll put a link to it from the River.

The Fish Posted Jun 17, 2000
Thanks BB.
Did anyone see a large brown log floating in this direction?
