  1. I coded a Wordpress plugin, for selfhosted sites that pulls your route from canalplan and you can then blog about it - creates summary maps, a post for each day with a map and some stats in it, and also allows you to link back to places in Canalplan and canalplan will link back to your blog posts Once the route is imported to the blog you can adjust each day. https://mintball.tty.org.uk/trips/?routeid=23 Just doesn't work with the WP modern editor as I wasn't going to learn a whole new programming language. Moved off wordpress to classic press which solved the problem
  2. I am, and was loitering on the towpath whilst the interview was done at Market Drayton last year. We'd gone up to the boat to do some work and the floating market was on and we wandered over. Wasn't planned or arranged at all.
  3. Once again a thread goes way off topic and then just turns into insults.
  4. Yes - I was basically confirming that Canalplan was talking about the towpath side moorings and not the offside in the club
  5. If Canalplan says pins are needed then that strongly suggests towpath side
  6. Well someone can always code one. Canalplans primary function is route planning. Stoppages were added so it could help people plan. It was never designed to have every stoppage in it immediately. If we put every downed tree in then planning would basically become impossible
  7. Canalplan has some APIs which are used by some boat movers to offer limited route details to people
  8. Not Opencanalmap Usually at the end the day. But sometimes when I've finished working for the day I just don't feel like it and sometimes I have other things to do. So sometimes emergency stoppages don't get in in time which is why we always say check directly with CRT Canalplan is something nick and I do for "fun", it's not our primary job.
  9. Emails arrive and are parsed into a table, part of that is the notice url which is then parsed to get the details from it. If the email is a completion email then the stoppage record in canalplan is marked as complete, if its a url it's already seen (and its not a completion) then it updates the stoppage record with the new details. Otherwise it inserts it I then go in and manually approve or close off the stoppage - so we get a lot about downed trees which we don't actually want to make live.
  10. CRT stoppages data structure changed completely . I had to rewrite the stoppage handling code for canalplan to extract the core bits of info (lat and long of start and end - as the names CRT use aren't consistent, duration etc). and it still changes from time to time.
  11. What does the same place between the other cylinders look like? It's obvious from the photo that there is something but are they brass plugs or something else? Looking at photos of other 1.5 heads that space seems to just be an open hole - on some it seems to be bigger between those two cylinders than between the others
  12. i don't even think they're in as seaways. might be wrong ......
  13. Canalplan probably doesn't have it as a route for very obvious reasons.
  14. Canalplan has some locations which we invented and gave sensible names to....
  15. We used to use them when we were moored at Crooke. Canalplan has the two locks as the Appley Locks Outside Track (Official CRT name) https://canalplan.org.uk/waterway/gota There are quite a lot of photos of the locks and route
