Fond as I am of the Lake District and the Broads ,for me the most unchanged AR location has to be the River Orwell and Walton Backwaters. Just avoid looking to closely at the Felixstowe docks {;-)} Pin Mill is still practically as he knew it, I'm sure I spotted Mrs Walker and Bridget walking on the hard a week or so ago, Shotley pier is still there and round in Secret Water you could be back in the thirties. Sail up to the club at Walton and the boatyard could still fix a bent rudder.pintle.
Mind you, sail to Holland past the Duerloo buoy and Flushing has changed a bit, but perhaps we mustn't ask to much, eh?
