Hi Geoff

Thanks for the reply - sorry it's taken 2.5 years to find it and reply myself!

I remember distinctly the long trawl to the Lake District from Reigate - c 1985, including a stop over in Sandbach at a school somewhere. The great thing about the RLH was its ability to carry numerous canoes on the lower deck! The downside was the terrible draft coming up the stairs when trying to sleep during night journeys! Glad it survived, though.
