PS Monarch

PS Monarch, the 42 foot paddle steamer built in 1983, will be running trips over the bank holiday weekend.
All trips depart from Wareham Quay in Dorset. No booking required. Trips last 30-40 minutes, cost £7 and include tea or coffee. Trips are tide dependant and will start mid to late morning, until late afternoon.

Just looked again at the website. Phone liz on the contact us page, not Russ on the timetable page!

 

New Website for Monarch. She is running this weekend. I will add the times to the website once I speak to the owner later in the week.

Should add trips are now longer and price has risen to £10 to reflect this. Tea or coffee still free!

 

Next weekend (26th and 27th) is the last 2015 sailing for Monarch. We are sailing tomorrow as well. The new season starts Easter 2016. See the website for more details

First sailing of the 2016 season will be Easter Saturday, the 26th of March.

 

Just a reminder that Monarch will be running for the first time on Saturday the 26th (weather depending) Sat, Sun and Mon. Prices held from last year. All running dates for the season will be added to the website shortly.

Wareham Quay (Dorset) from 1130.

Are there any other sailing between now and April 2nd?

 

Sorry no, only over the Easter weekend. Experience has shown there is no one about after Easter until May, especially when Easter is so early. If there is a group of you (up to 12) contact the owner though the website to see what he can do, or PM me and I will do it for you.

 

Looks like PS Monarch should be steaming this Bank Holiuday weekend [subject to the usual caveats]: http://paddlesteamermonarch.wix.com/ps-monarch

 

Thank you for your interest in the website. We certainly will be running Sat, Sun and Monday. I am crewing on the Sunday which will be the first time I have been on it when in steam this year. First sailing times will be around 1130 am. Actual times will be posted on the website probably Thursday, as the owner is away I can't ask him right now.

 

Are you around the Mining Museum at Norden during the weekend after next - Diesel Gala?
If so, I'll see you in the Norden Kiosk on Sunday 8th no doubt.

 

I will be Peter, see you then for coffee!

 

We are no longer running tomorrow. This is due to poor tide times and the weather. Check the website for next sailings

 

I hear a leaking fuel tank had to be replaced but all now OK.
Apparently planned for operation this weekend (11/12 June) starting at 11:30.

Turned out not to be the fuel tanks. However they have been replaced as they were coming to the end of their life, rest assured no fuel entered the river.

 

Good to hear.
