  7. After over 20 years of working around this area and knowing folk around said area. Bramley/Armley area of the cut is probably the dodgiest areas of the Leeds end of the LL. You can go past without any episode occurring but when it does occur you are always gonna remember it. Same as any big town or city there will be dodgy areas near the cut. Blackburn, Wigan, Manchester, Stoke, London we all know places where theres more chance of crime. We came across about 6 blokes not kids/teenagers camping out on the locks in Bramley once. Lockie said there was 20 earlier, and further down the cut just before Leeds city centre my OH witnessed a bag snatcher on a bike. Exactly the same place where this unfortunate person was killed. So those episodes will be kept in our memory. But I knew this area was suss. Dont be put off. Do your timings right and watch the weather. Theres always some one asking about bandit country where they are cruising. Its the way of life we live in. Theres roads and estates where folk say dont go all over the country.
  8. NO pay NO Play. Better monitoring/policing should be done to stop the 4% of un payers to use the cut. Same with uninsured cars on roads. Usually no road tax no mot or insurance. Boat crashes into you with no insurance or catches fire moored next to you how do you stand. You should have to prove you are insured to get a licence.

  14. Well theyre dredging the Ashby in preparation for our arrival in the 2nd week in August. Is this canal historically bad for low draft boats?
  15. Well you can try newspaper and polyfilla but I doubt that would work for long. Other than welding what would you be happy to use? Nothing more water tight than welding, OR is they? Not in my mind there is.
  16. Dan. You are misunderstanding the beating of chests by the other boater as one of the apes that come up and down the cut at Rodley.
  17. Put me down for 2 and dog as a 50/50. Let you know nearer time as we are heading that way anyway.
  18. Should kayaks be in said lock?
  19. Titus, You up there this week? Are you out on the weekend of the 26/27th? We set off for the Ashby then.
  20. We are heading to the Ashby from Fradley, will we be passing or is it just abit further down the Coventry? We will be near but no idea when.
  21. Thanks everyone. Think my question has been answered.
  22. Is it far enough out of Stoke to be a safe place to moor in August?
