Water wasn’t the reason the tunnel trips stopped.

Think it was a kind of water wedge idea but underground. Not entirely sure to be honest.

When this sort of scheme gets proposed it always reminds me of this genius idea from 2011. https://www.business-live.co.uk/economic-development/revolutionary-lock-could-transform-birminghams-9016867 https://antidotecounteragent.wordpress.com/2011/11/06/the-diagonal-lock-moving-towards-a-more-productive-environmentally-friendly-canal-system/

The Daneway's car park is on top of the top lock. You certainly used to be able to see one of the ground paddle vent cover plates in the middle of the car park being used as a drain.

Details look to be on the RN Register site https://www.rnregister.org.uk/rndeco.html

As shown in Tom Chaplin’s Narrow Boats book.

We've been on the Braunston pound for 13 years and agree with that. This year is the first year that we've experienced any water issues. @Simon (Hawksmoor) It's been a very, very dry summer. The pound usually copes fine with the amount of boat movements. I'm guessing that your question is related to your other post regarding the mooring of your shared boat and how other share owners voted for Great Heywood due to concerns over the water levels at Dunchurch.

Have you replied to the correct thread?

Might try the Antelope tonight then. We also noticed that the Ostrich steaks are a bit hit and miss whether they have any stock or not. At university back in the late '90s we would try to seek out exotic things to try which included crocodile, kangaroo, etc.

We picked up some Antelope burgers from Sainsbury’s the other day. Yet to try them though. Big fan of Ostrich steaks though.

Good thinking. Just shoved it into Google image search and it says: "The image shows a railway datum plate, also known as a marker plate. These plates are used by railway engineers to mark a specific location for reference. The "V.6" on the plate likely refers to the "Vertical" datum point number 6. The "14.9" probably indicates the distance in meters from a set reference point. These plates are used to ensure accurate measurements for track maintenance and other engineering tasks."

Looks more like the plates you get indicating the size and position of a hydrant/stop valve to me.

Thanks, had just figured out an adapter would be needed. Have just bought the Huawei B818 with a Poynting XPOL-2 antenna, a mag mount pole (for the time being) and the SMA adapters.

Great, thanks for all the help.

Thanks @GUMPY and @IanD I think any of those will be an improvement. The Huawei one might be the one to go for now as I can see the benefits of the GL-X3000 but it might be a little overkill at the moment. If I was living full time aboard then it looks perfect. Now to look at aerials... Ok, this sort of thing confuses the hell out of me. Was just looking at an aerial on Amazon and one of the images shows this: Do I need 2 of them? One with 2 leads or what? It does scream of cheap Chinese instructions. Surely it can't matter what one is plugged in?
