  1. Most straplines have a shelf life of just a few years, so expect all these Making Life Better etc signs to be replaced, at great expense, when a new management team decides a new message is required.
  2. Closed on Saturday I believe. We're on the Thames and had been travelling downstream on the Thames Ring. We turned round on Sunday due to the closure. Glad we did too.
  3. Thanks for the responses. Will see how we go, but you’ve given us some options to Bulls Bridge.
  4. We're doing the Thames Ring anti-clockwise, so down the GU. Setting off in about a week but struggling to find any info on overnight mooring between Uxbridge and Brentford. Last time we did this we tied up at Bulls Bridge. Is this still the recommended stop? Anywhere decent before the Thames? Thanks in advance.
  5. Thanks - do you know if the visitor moorings near the basin are open?
  6. Has anybody tried mooring in Harborough recently? Any update on whether it's possible or whether all moorings are actually closed would be appreciated. Thanks.

  9. We came through Braunston a few years back, and accidently joined the parade in our boring 57ft cruiser stern because it was the only way from one end to the other. I believe we were directly behind President, and our boat name was announced as we went past. Great fun but quite scary as we were novices and the traffic was very slow and required much careful manoeuvring.
  10. Those pesky Europeans again! It’s time to take back control of our storms. British storms for British people!
  11. This guy, together with Fergal Sharkey and Paul Whitehouse, is doing a good job in raising this to a national issue. I hope it’s something that plays a big role in the next election.
  12. Latest stoppage email from CaRT looks to me as if it means there's no towpath mooring within 2kms of MH for 15 weeks from 22 May, due to the towpath being resurfaced with tarmac/chips. In other words, a cycle lane, I suppose. So paying to overnight on one of the hire company pontoons looks the only way anybody can visit MH this summer.
  13. We got to Harborough late one day a couploe of years ago to find all the moorings taken, so we phoned the boat hire people and booked a space on one of their pontoons inside the basin. That could be a fallback option for you.
