A pet cats transmitter implant could be the answer. bizzard.

until the coalman's cat runs away.

I meant implant in the coalman.

Dress him as a cat and take him to the vets.

But then so could the taxman

In the Fens

 

Location info is limited to approved "Friends" so the taxman would have to be sneaky....

Loading coal and diesel next Tuesday, and thence moving towards Bath, via Avoncliff, Dundas, Bathampton et al. Depending on pre-orders and left over coal once in Bath, I'll probably carry on towards Hannam Lock.

[NB Alton]

Alton is now on Google Latitude, as Brian McGuigan & our gmail address is nbalton102. So if anyone wants to follow our progress on their, feel free.

 

Today we've had a busy day on the Wharf at Oakgrove reloading Alton with coal, diesel etc. In the morning we're heading back up thru Macc, Bollington, Poynton & to Marle. On Sunday we wind & head back down the Macc & if time down Bosley Lock. Monday were through Kidsgrove to Church Lawton. Tuesday we head down the rest of the Cheshire Locks to Middlewich & onto the Middlewich Branch. On Wednesday we're heading to Nantwich before winding & heading north on the Shroppie towards Chester. Thursday we're delivering at Elesmere Port. Followed by a long day Friday heading back towards Anderton. Over the weekend we're attending the Acton Bridge Steam Rally at the Leigh Arms on the River Weaver. The above plan is subject to change depending on traffic etc, let's hope it's a nice autumnal week.

Archemidies & Ara are delivering in London, they were at Camden Top Lock earlier this evening.

Refueled in August 2005 at Little Venice from a coal boat called ''Mountbatten'' engine Armstrong Siddeley with Butty boat in tow.Run by a very nice couple.Saw them at Cowroast a short time after heading north.Also from a coalboat called Argo at Waltham Abbey in 1993 i think,how about that one.Are these boats still operating ? bizzard.

Mountbatten & Jellicoe are still (at the moment) owned by Ivor & Mel but are currently up for sale, they've now retired and moved onto a single motor so the pair are up for sale and advertised on Apolloduck.

Mountbatton & Jelicoe have been based near Barbridge Junction for the past couple of years, but neither of them was there tonight when we passed through. I don't know if they've been sold or are just out for a run.

 

We passed FMC Dove near Barbridge & are now tied up at Nantwich near Buckden & Saturn. Now in the Black Lion having a decent pint of Weetwoods Cheshire Cat & listening to some great live acoustic music. Tomorrow we're off early to Ellesmere Port.

 

Martin, M.t Major is James, who works with Tom. Your number is correct, James has inserted an extra 7 by mistake.

 

Have a good run James.

Hi Dr. Bradley,

From a canal perspective it is about twenty miles long and less than 100 feet wide, it would be hard to miss them! 07930347558
