You can borrow mine - it's pretty comprehensive:
Richard
watch out, he's posted the chart upside down, could have caused a nasty accident.
-
some of my fleet will be there, if you come pop over an say hello
-
Yes, Mike usually tests the water to make sure it's ok for everyone else.
an then matty checks the anchors not been left deployed after the banters
-
Yes it was - thought you looked familiar. Have you been to some of the local banters?
We'll be going towards Leicester at the weekend to avoid the Loughborough scrum and becuase I want to sail at Syston on Saturday afyternoon.
yes I was at the xmas banter. knew your face was familiar.
didn't manage to squash me in the locks

The moorings were filling up this morning when we left. Dont expect to find a mooring on Friday between The Boat and Belton Road bridge including the basin arm. There are offside moorings by Nottingham Road bridge which are OK on bollards or try between Belton rd and Loughborough Lock. Slightly out of town there some nice moorings below Bishop Meadow Lock.
was it you i shared a couple of locks with on the way to thurmaston today?
there were afew spaces around the curve yesterday morning

they seem to have found a way of saving money on the local section, there using the high voltage power lines already on the route for the overhead wires for the trains.
that or putting half of derbyshire into darkness
-
I've had to lower it for the last 4 bridges!!
yeh i ment the one you lowered the cam then nearly crashed into a tree after the bridge
-
that bridge was abit close.
and watch out for that tree
-
great video, lovely old dawncraft
-
Cracking evening! Night all, might see some of you for breakfast at spoons ;-)
Enjoy your coal.
Brilliant night
-
Beer is already flowing. Hurry up before it runs out
-
i dont think the fact the house is way up in scotland is helping
doubt many would pay that all the way up there
-
Is this due to the unusual depth of water or will it be completely submerged when the flood recedes?
if i can assist in getting it back to the surface an started on the mend let me know, dinghy an another pair of hands are ready to go
-
hope thats not true, anything we can do get in touch
-
good pics, its a nice mooring you have there
-
Typical! Continuous Moorer
matty has developed a whole new thing, hes a continuous locker
-
does that mean the queue for the lock might be able to move soon?
-
You don't need a lock, just turn right over the fields to the right on the way down, duck as you pass the telegraph poles though.
good thinking, can cut the corners across the fields.
best avoid the wires, dont want to put leicester back into the dark ages
-
lock hog, how are boaters ment to get through the lock with your boat in the way, thats my trip to luff out the window

Of course you made it - Apart from the lack of shelter thats a easy trip!!!! (Have to say Fuzz, surprised you made it past the Hope , or Sorrell !) There must have been an agreement that you would buy the beers if you stopped before Beeston ?????
I suspect you were travelling in excess of the speed limit (Well you normally are when we meet you!)
Do I need to bring the trailer down to Beeston for the trip home ?
we passed the pubs before they opened, so had to settle for a shop stop in luff.
ran aground on the trent, an so nearly died(well not quite)
the dinghy did about 60mph on the way back

i wouldnt say idiots, more adventurers
