Good on you m8

Its fine to run your engine as cc will tell you thats what its for as well as moving

encroachment of the towpath (as i have seen by most hire boaters & weekender marina gangs) with Bbq's gas bottles table & chairs umbrellas & chavy kids. works a treat plus small dogs.

I Would like to pass on a thankyou to jeff (CRT) who covers the K&A round kintbury Hungerford never meet him but a great help on the phone, hope to vist there again

We are going to watch them in Newbury while having a full English & at the K&A cafe

Hi there, We where on the Thames last year & watched them go by but were told by there support crews not to navigate while it was taking place, Is this the same on the K&A.

Hi we have just come from kintbury to newbury all ok but between Higg's & Guyer's lock the water level is very low scraped the bottum a few times.

Went here many years ago great place & still going well. http://www.castlebarge.co.uk/

Fishing. Its basically dogging but without the sex... Hours out in the open... You're bound to catch something. And then there is the old dilemma... Kill 'em or let them go.

No offense taken or intended, all banter

That's class & great can i nick it, very

Saw this on Cart's facebook page "And they're off" Peter Ponting ‎. Make things simple and effective. Having read the SE proposals and followed (and contributed) to the debates about moorings. Perhaps it is time for CaRT to listen to common sense and a productive way of solving issues. Visitor Moorings are what they say. For Visitors. These are usually found near Towns, villages etc, where visitors can explore the areas. These can easily be monitored, either by CaRT representatives or volunteers living near the moorings. These should all be made 48 hour moorings, to enable visitors to visit the areas. That should be the main priority, ensuring that no boat stays longer than 48 hours. This enables towns and villages a continuous supply of new people, all using local stores to "top up" Next we have the 7 - 14 day moorings, which should be further away than visitors moorings, as they have more time to explore the areas. These could be checked on a weekly basis. The License system is flawed in so much that boats in marina's use the system as and when they can, which usually mean weekend's. So apart from using marina facilities, they use very little else on the system. To which they pay a premium (mooring fees) Likewise, boats moored on private land adjacent to the towpath also have to pay mooring fees, some with facilities, others without. But they use the facilities provided by CaRT probably more than a marina based boat. Hire boat companies use very little facilities except for water and rubbish disposal. Live aboards with no moorings probably use the facilities most. In conclusion, Scrap the continuous cruising license, as they use more facilities than anybody else. Limit mooring times to 48 hours and 7 -14 days. This will increase efficiency and reduce the problems which are occurring everyday and easily monitored. https://www.facebook.com/#!/canalrivertrustboating?fref=ts

But now if you get lights. you can avoid the fine by taking their T61 ticket to an approved cycle shop and buying lights, asking staff to stamp or sign the PINK part of the T61. Cyclists would then return the T61 to the Summary Justice Unit and would receive no further action. No fine

Just seen this on facebook. Hampshire Constabulary - Did you know you can now receive a fine if you’re caught cycling in the dark without lights? The Cycle Defect Rectification Scheme was launched on February 4 and means police can now issue £30 fines to cyclists without lights between sunset and sunrise. Cyclists can avoid the fine by taking their T61 ticket to an approved cycle shop and buying lights, asking staff to stamp or sign the PINK part of the T61. Cyclists would then return the T61 to the Summary Justice Unit and would receive no further action. Sergeant Darren Ord will be taking questions about the Cycle Defect Rectification Scheme on Facebook tomorrow 12pm.

Good on you cart

Cheers ITV4

Very good looking forward to more

Well we have constant cruising, constant moorers, & constant moaners. " glass houses" "keep up the good work" Get all the boaters you dont like off the cut. But then the canals may go. Then you could put wheels on the bottom and call it a caravan. And have a whole new group to whinge about. " "
