    HRW3, fitted under George Wains stewardship. Goes like stink!!

    Sshhh...it only says Colecraft four times in the advert, perhaps he missed it 😉

    And just think, if the canals were dredged properly we'd all now be afloat...crazy eh?

    Cants and beams in metal?...hardly a faithful restoration worthy of note. For someone who seeks credibility as you clearly do, surely timber would be a more honourable choice no?
  5. James Owen
    That's good to hear, but what about the boat?
  6. James Owen
    No, just no. No, no, no....and again. No.
  7. James Owen
    Yes, still about. The tug is now used by a couple running The Village Butty, a floating music venue, which is on one of the short Hardy Spicer day boats operating in and around Banbury. The Lion was found on the hard in Cheshire where it was up for sale on AD. A wonderful boat, currently moored outside Tooleys.

    CRT will have it recorded as 'vandalism'.

    Apologies to Ian would be more appropriate I feel.
  10. James Owen
    Yep. What are you looking for?
  11. James Owen
    Easenhall cutting closed again, a tree has come down blocking the channel. CRT are aware....
  12. James Owen
    Yes, a few. It depends upon what you're after.?
  13. James Owen
    No.

    Love him or loathe him, he won't be forgotten.

    Some loaded boats and a few tugs have been through, there really isn't any cause for concern.
  16. James Owen
    No, you're at Newbold.
  17. James Owen
    Boats passing through so....
  18. James Owen
    Open, but not officially.

    Channel looks clear 👌

    That's rather impressive!! It's funny how some drone pictures quickly put things into perspective and show the scale of works undertaken thus far (and where the monies accrued from licences etc have actually been spent). Fingers crossed there's a fair dry spell ahead but even then, the 18th is less than four weeks away....

    Only certain now that Steve Priest has named the painter..? I'm sure you would have come to that conclusion eventually of course....

    Darrell Broscomb is based near Oxford and has plenty of experience with Dutch Barges. From memory I think he also lives on one?? www.dbmarinesurvey.co.uk A thoroughly nice chap and knowledgeable too.

    The works currently being undertaken involve the building of a new road across the adjacent field, there is slow but steady progress being made.
  25. James Owen
    You're absolutely right, I must have imagined what I saw earlier.
