  1. a  month ago myself and mister done the 21 in about 3 hours 40 ...mind you it was one of those rare times when every thing went the way we wanted it to go ...and as most boaters now that is a rare day indeed lol .i would say about 45 mins after lock one ...nice mooring at bentley bridge 

  2. you guys amaze me at times ..thanks so much ...i will pass on all info ..as my friend is of the old old school ..he dont do pc.s mobile phones ...is take on is hes done ok in life with out these things ...but i   would suggest has not ...lol thanks again 

  3. hi mike and who ever maybe interested in this ..i spoke to my friend ..said  you need more info mike ...and he gave me this ..rushton and hornsby 3vrh 33 horse power ex crane model 10rb tractor unit ...he also commented some years back three other engine bods tried to find out more about this engine but failed in there quest ..lol i wonder if the well know MTB  will fail also ...lol regards haza

  4. will do mike ..my friend said it was made in lincon ..like you said i will get the exact detailsi may have missed some thing .i have seen the engine in my friends boat .i got to say its a big lump ...thanks any way mike 

    oh by the way mike mister had a jam with chris jagger ...what a nice down to earth guy 

  5. hi  heres one for all you peeps what now about these things ...a friend of mine as a ruston hornsby in is narrowboat ..where these engines used much in the day as i have not come across one in a narrowboat before ...not that i know about these things any way ..he ask mister if he knew about them as he maybe putting it up for sale ...and was wondering what would be the asking price of such engine ..mister does not have a clue ...do any of you clever people ..thanks 

  6. i think you maybe right there wotever .it maybe tired ..as to having more connected ,nothing has been altered since we have had the boat ...it seems to have stopped tripping now ...every time it was set it tripped .it has not done if for at least half hour ..but thanks for your help 

  7. in nearly 5 years this has never happened ..we are plugged in to shoreline .and every minute or so the panel which is a blue sea system the switch that says stereo which operates the power to the tv keeps tripping out .but saying that it as not done it for the last 10 mins .would anyone out there now whats causing this ...all info would be gratefully excepted thanks 

  8. got to agree with nicknorman but weather our friend is trying it on or not ..does it really matter that much , to me it dont .....like someone said plenty do . some get away with it some dont ..and i also know that to a person not one person here on canalword would ever dream of staying over longer then the permitted time ..or ever break the rules of crt ...well i can assure you i have not and. i certently   would never dream of trying it on ..im one of the good girls 

  9. boisdevie  you do that. email crt and see what they have to say thats what i would do ...if they say yes its ok to stay there till  the jobs done and you dont mind staying there 5/6 weeks.nothing more to say about it ...if they say no you can not ...then thats it you can not simple ,and please dont worry what other boaters think or say ...like you said you are new to this boating thing ...good luck any way

  10. the big freeze when was this then ..i must have been in hibernation .been boating nearly 19 years now ...yes in that time we have had some freeze overs .but nothing to stop us in our tracks ...i think the last mayor freeze was in the 80s ...but like i say i can not remember ..im sure some one will put me right on that one ,any  minute................................................now 

  11. about 2 years back we where moored at stoke prior .coming towards us was what just looked like three lads enjoying there little cruise ..they moored right outside the boat and railway ..they must have been local .for the pub to let them do that ..any an hour or so later they came out of the pub ..we where inside the boat ..and i kid you not .they came past us faster then those jet ski.s never seen anything like that nor since ...there where other boaters moored and every one of them came out of there boats to see what the hell it was ...where anyone who uses canalworld there just to confirm this happening 

  12. i was with my insurance for over 10 years ..until this year and i got a better all round deal ...if you tell your old company this .they turn round and say lets see if we can match what you have been offererd and most times they do ...i find that strange
