Journalist Octavia Pollock from “Country Life” magazine recently spent some time aboard Nancy Blackett and around Pin Mill, during the weekend of the Arthur Ransome Pin Mill Jamboree in mid-May.
Her resultant 3-page feature appears in this week’s edition of “Country Life”, available from tomorrow (Wednesday 12th July). Peter Willis, President of the Nancy Blackett Trust, has had a preview and highly recommends it.
Octavia was accompanied by Sophie Neville, so scroll down to the behind-the-scenes photos and tweets of their adventure as it happened:
Grog, pork pie and the right sort of chocolate, in squares, stowed: ready for a weekend aboard @NancyBlackettUK with @Sophie_Neville!
