  3. Stanley Ferry Marina?

    Just had a look on Google Maps Street View. The Griffin is up for sale and the Old Mill seems to be a care home! Don't know what dates the pictures are!

    We moored for the summer at Stanley Ferry in 2014, lovely people there, really helpful and sensible prices. Would really recommend it. As noted above, the pub on the opposite side is very plastic and full of kids, but you can't have everything. Plenty of other good pubs in the area, including (apparently, because we didn't get to it) the only gas lit pub in Yorkshire!

    That sounds interesting, do you have any idea of the name. I might have a look for it next time I'm at Stanley Ferry.

    Thanks

    Hi Anth. thank you.

    I like the idea of a pub and food place that close by, dont mind a short cruise to one though whic i canr find near Fairies.

    There was a few moorings available at Stanley, trouble is i am wanting the get one in spring`ish time.  

     

    There did used to be one at Castleford, just down from Fairies Hill. I think it was called The Griffin If it is still there, it was behind the Marine Engineers just down from the flood lock. I'm in the Isle of Lewis at the moment so I'm some distance from my log books! :-)

  8. Izuzu Engine - strange behaviour

    in General Boating

    Posted

    I had almost exactly the same symptoms on our boat. It turned out to be swarf left in the tank when it was built being sucked into the fuel line. When the engine was stopped the flow through the fuel lines stopped and the engine would run fine again on start up, untill the next bit of swarf was sucked up.

    In a language as rich in homophones as English, it's important that a writer uses the correct word to avoid misunderstandings. However...

     

    tongue.png I've had a reply from SMBC (Paul Hartley) who tells me that Scheduled Monument Consent is a matter for English Heritage Northwest:

    https://historicengland.org.uk/advice/planning/consents/smc/is

    and is not dealt with by the LPA. THat's not what the SMBC web site says, but never mind.

     

    I can't find a "search planning applications" facility on the EH site, but perhaps others have more patience!

     

    ETA: the link worked for me but now it won't. The historicengland.org.uk bit works, though.

    I think it's because when you clink on the link it puts http:// at the front of the address, also the colon disappears from the https://

    You know precisely what I am talking about so do not talk such utter rubbish. Talk about splitting hairs. It's exactly people like you that will not allow things to become amicable on the canals nor on the roads. I do realise that cyclists pay taxes like everyone else. They do not pay road tax and neither do they, generally, pay for insurance so if they hit me and damage my vehicle or kill me whjen they are riding on the pavement then either me or my family have to pay for that ourselves.

    I'm not sure that anybody does these days. I pay Vehicle Excise Duty (VED) for my car and as far as I know it is not ring fenced to pay for roads

    The Thread We Need About Syria - A Poll

    By not pitching in and leaving the dirty work to (what seems like) the rest of the world smacks of appeasement, ghost of Neville Chsmberlain looms large.

    There is an opinion that the much maligned Neville Chamberlin bought this country time to build up its armed forces to such an extent that it was able to win the Battle of Britain. If we had gone to war instead of his 'Peace for our time' we would not have had the Hurricanes and Spitfires to defeat the Luftwaffe. there is an opposing view that his Govt. was responsible for the lack of investment in the armed forces that got us in that situation in the first place!

    I subscribe to the stoppage emails for the A&CN.

     

    I have not had one yet.

     

    They have improved their weekend service and normally issue them nowadays.

    Thanks for that,

     

    I'm subscribed to the stoppage emails as well but I was unaware that they now always issue them at weekends

     

    Thanks
