Might be sensible to get a replacement glass and hide it away just in case - then the odds are you will never need it! Better to have it and not need it rather than.........................

Look up ABC Leisure Group Ltd

maybe it should be 'unflammable'

I think the Moulin Rouge was one of the more famous places to see the can-can. Apparently.

I've been using Hotspot for years, does the job.

In case anyone is interested 16/04/2024 13:16 The team are making good progress, and have installed an access track in the field above the cutting to allow larger plant and wagons to take material away so we can safely access the site. Long reach machines are being delivered which will then allow us to excavate down the side of the cutting to access the canal. We’re also installing access roads to the other slip site, and preparing the ground for temporary storage of materials and access down the bank. We’re still on programme to open the navigation for the middle of May. We'll provide further updates as soon as we receive them.

Try the Midshipmans knot - although I like the idea of HDPE, just had a look on Ebay and cheap offcuts are available.

It's the handle of a tiller, so maybe.........Tiller Handle or in 19th century vernacular, tilurandley

if your wooden tiller handle is the normal 6", I have seen them advertised longer at 9" which might make the length you need - lot cheaper than a new complete tiller

That's got to be a record for this forum on topic deviation - mad axe man to smartened up moorings in 8 posts!

The C&RT guy who was interviewed recently mentioned that the road across the field would allow them to get heavy machinery near the failure point so they could reduce the height of the remaining edge, thus allowing them to get that machinery down nearer the canal line. Then I guess it is just a matter then of clearing the spoil from the canal bed. I can only assume that the farmer was way more accommodating than some have been in the past - unless C&RT just threw a huge payoff his way on day one.

The map shows 'Foxton Swing Bridge' being the road bridge

If C&RT don't think you have one you will have a problem next time you try to license your boat.

I believe beerbeer etc was referring to Hatton, and having come up there last week can confirm all 21 are fine using one paddle to save energy!
