Have a good look round, we were looking for a semi trad or cruiser with large windows,
We ended up buying a trad with portholes, we just fell in love with it

Do you mean Chassis Identification Number ?

We stayed overnight at Nottingham then did Nottingham, sawley and finally Mercia Marina at Willington (New and Used Boat Co)
we were exhausted by then.

Definately Nottingham, lots more nearby to look at as NB Lola says above, we bought ours from Willington,

Its for operating the paddles on the locks (ground paddles I think but stand to be corrected)
-
Yes, I think its a piece of 3 x 2 that you need, I've got a one in my garage that I've never used (sorry thats no good to you)
but it's made out of hardwood, I don't know if softwood would stand the strain

Yes, I'd suggest posting a request...
If we were free, we'd come and help, but it's a bit far for us.
Good luck, and enjoy!

I thought you'd go anywhere to go boating Janet ????

You can have some of ours, we've had enough now, it's nearly gone now though.
Hopefully the weather will have improved by September for you.

Which boat have you booked from canal escapes ?
I've just seen Isabel moored in the snow at Kildwick.
Dave

From Barnoldswick (barlick) Greenberfield Locks, East Marton, Bank Newton locks, Gargrave + Locks and then Skipton.
A beautiful part of the world to go boating and you're obviously hiring from canal escapes which are great boats, You'll have a great time and if you get to Kildwick (3 miles east of Skipton) then look us up.
If you need anymore info just send me a pm

How about 60ft then you can come to Yorkshire !!

I had this problem on my old boat with a Vetus M3, a new sender unit cured the problem.

Sorry to say Dave, hard times are ahead. I need another job ASAP as I cant live off the hours I am getting now. Selling is not set in stone yet so you've still got me about for now. Just weighing up our choices. Time will tell! Busy looking at down sizing the house rather than sell the boat.
Well if you do have to sell, you know where we are if you fancy a days boating

Well they've finally shifted the crane (see attachment)

Can you all tell me the pros and cons of selling a boat privately?
Why ? what are you selling for ?
Dave

I think you're going to struggle on the Leeds & Liverpool, I've been up here for a few years
and the longest I've seen get through is 60ft, I don't know if you'll even get through going
diagonally in the locks.
I know a few 60ft ers who've been through and got soaked with the leaking gates

The crane is still in the canal at Apperley Bridge and canal now drained
If you copy and paste this attachment its from the local paper

I wondered where Alternative therapy had gone, it's my partners favorite name for a boat
-
100 gallon water tank perhaps, 100 gallon diesel tank WOW !
that would cost over £400 to fill up ?????
Are you sure or is it me getting mixed up in my old age
-
On my last boat I took the stove apart to recon it and had the back plate welded

We got a new landlord in the Anchor just before Christmas. Previous to this the pub was on a downward slide as far as quality was concerned. Thankfully the new landlord Martin has turned out to be a 'belter.
Old faces who went elsewhere are returning, good honest food is now served seven days a week, the staff smile when you come in now and the place is starting get busy again. At last!
Is this a "plug" for the Anchor?...Bloody right it is, perfect location and friendly locals help as well. Pop in and see.
Andy.
Thanks for that Andy, I've avoided that place for some time now, it used to feel like you were doing the staff a favour if you went in for a drink and if you asked for food, well what can I say !!!!!
We'll give it a try when we come up in the Spring.

I have a water filter on my boat, I change the filter when needed
and its fine to drink from the tap, I don't live on the boat and
only fill up with water when needed, we've never had a problem
with the quality of water.

And why would anyone from Skipton want to go and stay in the middle of Leeds
(except to go to the football)
Dave
-
This is the type that I've got but it's playing up and I've been told
it'll cost about £1000 to repair. Brand new they are about £2000 apparently,
I think I'll just stick with an aerial and freeview.

Expectation of distance/hours cruising .
in Holidays Afloat
Posted
Most setting of from Barlick find that a good weeks cruise is down to Saltaire and back, that incorporates many different places and experiences including Bingley 5 Rise, don't try and go too far, just enjoy your holiday and wave when you pass our mooring.
