  1. CRT's water management team reckon not until 2026 will the Cheshire Ring be doable by hire boats without any impact because of reservoir levels.
  2. Yes, our favourite country, cheap licence although it was increasing by the time we left and some great moorings in many of the cities and out in the countryside. The south was cheaper than the north. Just make sure your boat is less than 20m or it's a no no because of the Es-Trin rules which now rigourously apply to pleasure as well as commercial inland waterways boats. And yes, I know your boat is only 10m but this could be a useful bit of advice for others thinking about escaping from the UK.
  3. Try Bert Brink in Electra, northern Netherlands. We had some lovely years moored there. https://www.dewaterwolf.nl/
  4. Had this comment on FB: these occur after a lot of rain,the excess water dilutes the chlorine ( meant to kill them)In embryo form they pass through the 5 micron filtration capacity of our friends at the water board and grow in the pipes. If you have a Brita filter it will take them out,they might gum it up quicker, they are unpleasant but non toxic
  5. Anyone know if this applies to liveaboard boaters' new batteries? https://www.pv-magazine.com/2024/02/01/uk-vat-relief-on-residential-batteries-comes-into-effect/
  6. Mine does my dirty work for me 😁
  7. Here's the list of the private boater candidates with their submissions: https://canalrivertrust.org.uk/about-us/how-we-are-run/the-council/council-elections-2023-24/private-boating-candidates
  8. Here's CRT's new policy on boater facilities: https://canalrivertrust.org.uk/refresh/media/original/48107-customer-service-facility-policy-statement-2023.pdf
  9. CRT is a charitable trust, not a charity. The difference is that it is run as a business but profits have to be ploughed back in to the trust's activities, rather than shareholders. I'm sure Allan can clarify further.
  10. This took some finding from over 7 years ago. You obviously have an agenda with NABO and I would be very pleased to have your suggestions and ideas about how boaters can be supported with the challenges we all face in October 2023
  11. From an FBW steering group member: The funds, although overseen by the FBW steering group, are held and managed by the IWA, which is a registered charity.
  12. NABO are getting lots of new members. The council meeting today made some important decisions, join to find out and support. I'll ask.
