I believe you sat next to me for the meal after the challenge, I had at least one pint.

We've had a few close scrapes with the working boats on that bridge.

And I've had a few pints with him.

There is the area by the bottom lock where you can moor, not sure if there is any historical significance of that area.

We pay by boat length but in payment brackets so we are in the up to 60' band for a 57' boat and didn't pay anything extra when on a 70' jetty and wouldn't pay any less if on a 50' jetty.

Autumn 2016 Boundary Post included the photo and was titled Lock keepers cottage 151 on the original line of the Delph.

Such a shame it has been left to get in this state after the effort that went in to the last restoration.

There are already moorings in various locations designated as disabled moorings, the ones I've seen have normal mooring bollards but they have a disabled symbol embossed on the top and some have been painted red or yellow. I guess it is down to individuals whether they choose to moor there or not if they don't have a disability.

Kettle.

I watched a chap mooring his boat up who clearly did not have the use of his legs as he shuffled along the towpath on his bottom. He was very proficient at getting his boat tied up and what appeared to be his able bodied wife stood and held a rope whilst he got the boat tied up.

Same here, trying to see if it is somewhere I know before scrolling down to reveal.

The thread was started to post photos.

Agree, CRT should do more to explain why work is done and whether it was funded through their general budget or a specific project budget. I've been involved in a number of projects funded through particular grants that could only be used for the project but for anyone who didn't know this would consider it a waste of money.

It is Android but Samsung overlay their own user interface customisations over the top which you can't disable. I really do not like the Samsung interface on my work phone which is why my personal android phone is Motorola because they leave the UI alone and just add some optional features that you can enable or disable. The downside with lower cost Android tablets is often performance is poor due to lack of memory, reduced storage and lower spec processor.

Was a question on the BCN challenge a few years ago.

Today, 2024 An icy start to the day.

I had a brief discussion with a lithium installer who uses an Alpha Pro as part of the install and he said he has to fit a manual switch to turn off alternator charging as this can't be done with the Alpha Pro.

I presume it is Glevum, the Roman name for Gloucester. Would fit with this oil painting image I found on the web, Saracen in Gloucester docks.

Yes I did.

The pontoons have all been upgraded in the last few years with good non slip surfaces and each finger jetty is the length of the boat and a reasonable width.

I feel it would make repairs more costly and more time consuming as I am sure it would add additional rules and more people in any process. There are already enough hoops to jump through to get the simplest bits of maintenance completed.

No longer building through Great Haywood, that has all stopped.

We have been in Great Haywood for the last 5 years, we like it as a location as there are 3 directions to travel. There are good weekend trips if you are occasional boaters. We also made use of the option to use other Lakeland marinas, leaving the boat in Saul Junction and Tatenhall when we have gone off for longer trips.
