By the time of the 2002 Three Mills Rally, dredging of the once-semi-tidal loop of the Bow Back Rivers had started but hadn't been finished. So once again an attempt was made to pass round the loop in a number of craft. Only canoes completed the whole loop. Two groups of narrowboats made the attempt from the two ends of the loop.
The southern group of boats got as far as here, part-way up the City Mill River. The Floating Pennywort was even more obtrusive when I led another walk there a few weeks later.
